Not Escape Hunt's best game but we loved some of the more story-based puzzles and had a lot of fun.
This game had some fun puzzles but it also left us wondering what to do a lot of the time. We spent the first 15 minutes finding things but not entire sure what to do. Once in the second room we found things flowed a bit better. I would go back and play another of their games but I did feel a bit frustrated during the game sometimes when things didn't seem to be moving anywhere. That being said the physical design of the game was appealing and we did have a fun time overall 🙂
Would be so much better if everything worked. Beautiful theming and some fun puzzels
If you don't like the smell of dirty water, you might feel a bit nauseous in this room! Personally for me, I thought the theming, even down to the smell, was just absolutely fantastic and so immersive. Personally my favourite pirate themed room I've done.

Our least favourite game that we have played at Escape Hunt. The puzzles could have been really good but their execution was somewhat lacking. An enjoyable game overall however
