I’d recommend this room for people new to escape rooms or anyone looking for a casual experience.
It was decorated well and low-tech without feeling cheap. The puzzles are fairly simple but there were a handful of red herrings that cost us quite a bit of time. I think that the fun decoration carries this room pretty far!
The gameplay was cute! I was a little frustrated by the amount of red herrings. A couple types of puzzles were reused multiple times through the room but it didn’t feel “boring” anywhere.
They offer unlimited hints but you have to ask for them each time, so we had a few moments where we forgot we could ask for help. Not their fault though 😆
The room was decorated very nicely though quite dimly lit! But since they let you bring your phone into the room we were able to just use our cellphone flashlights :)
There were also curtains over the windows and we thought we weren’t allowed to open them which meant
The staff were fantastic! Very friendly and helpful and happy to answer questions.
Particularly interesting or different
No
I feel like I had seen every puzzle element in the room elsewhere before, but it was still fun & worth it for the price!
The puzzles were definitely all pirate-themed, but in a 5-player group it was hard to keep track of any linear plot, if there was one.
My group was comprised of varying skill level and it felt like there was something for everyone to do the whole time.
There was an electronic set piece that was broken but they warned us ahead of time!
Physically active
Not at all
Minimal bending/reaching. I use a mobility aid and it was very comfortable for me.
Accessibility
Room is nice and wide-open and tables are all low enough to be considered wheelchair-friendly.
Plenty of street parking if the lots on either side are full. The area is nice & walkable so you could park anywhere within a couple blocks and still get there easily.
