2 escape rooms
First ever Escape Room experience, highly recommend for new players. The Mutineer's Journal was a helpful guide, though its pages seemed out of order which caused some confusion. Used two hints formally, though the Game Master was aware that the group was new to escape rooms. As a history buff, some puzzles came easier, yet the real fun came from the learning along the way. Room was well designed and difficulty felt sufficient to prepare the group for the learning curve of puzzle mechanics.

Puzzles may be difficult in some facets but I would consider the attraction "family friendly" as it thematically appeals to general audiences. It's content could be experienced by a young human with adult supervision and much assistance.
