It's the year of our lord 1672, and you be right in the height o' the golden age o' piracy…
After years of sailin' the high seas, you and your crew have succeeded in your fair share of ambushes, and as a result – your ship is teamin' with bounty.
Yet you're still suffering beneath the cruel wrath o' Captain Starling - a notoriously bloodthirsty buccaneer, and your shipmates have decided you all shall take matters into your own hands. After all… you fought for the gold, so the gold is yours for the taking, aye?
Once the old seadog has retreated to his berth for the night, you make your move. Get in, get the treasure and get out. You won't have long before he starts to stir – and Starling shows no mercy to ANY soul…

Mutiny is my favourite game from the 50 I have played.  Its truly amazing.  Loved it all.  Just like going into the Aztec zone on the Crystal Maze!  Wish Tulleys did more like this one rather than the overly complicated newer ones which are nowhere near as good.

The greatest transition between rooms in a game I've ever played. Really enjoyed the variety of puzzles, the set looked awesome and everything flowed perfectly. Minor gripe with no torches given for sections in darker light so made locks hard to see. Otherwise excellent!

A wonderfully themed adventure with some magical wow moments and a stunning build. Great range of puzzles with something for everyone to do and some lovely transitions. A fabulous room for families as well as lovers of the pirate genre.

Tulley's Pirate themed room is one of their oldest but it doesn't feel it, theming is excellent, some typically piratical puzzles coupled with some great scenes really brings the game to life.

Great sets and multiple rooms only let down by basic puzzles, but definitely a good beginner friendly room. We had some interruptions from power cuts!

quite difficult

Great room, loads to do, but is tough to finish as a 2. We didn't really waste much time making errors or getting stuck but didn't quite make it. It did get a bit frustrating at times, as we didn't get the same kind of nudge from the GM as I've been used to in the past, especially on a couple of occasions where we'd essentially figured out all the component parts of a puzzle but hadn't located where to input the solution. I would still recommend it, but given our experience level, mid-30s in terms of number of games completed, wish I had done the room with more players.

Fantastic from start to finish. The puzzles included both physical and mental problem-solving, and included mechanisms and styles that we simply hadn't seen elsewhere. The game unfolded with more and more spectacular spaces with amazing set design. Only wish Tulleys was closer to us so that we could do all their other rooms!

After the miserable failure of Nethercott Manor we decided to try another Tulley’s game.  We unlocked and completed with good time left. It was another great room with lots of puzzles and rooms.

Nicely done in terms of set dressing for a common theme; some fun puzzles and would recommend playing any of the Tulley's games at the end of the day - they are all good quality. A couple of puzzles fairly common to escape rooms but enough to work on ultimately. Unfortunately due to local flooding we arrived late and could only play 30 minutes of the room but managed to do the majority of the puzzles so perhaps a touch easier than their other (fiendish as a 2!) rooms

This was the first room we played at Tulleys and I'd say the easier of the 5. Themeing was great - and a fab surprise at one point too (No spoiler) plenty to keep us both busy, again divide and conquer because of the volume of things to do but nothing that wasn't acheiveable.

Big rooms, gorgeous theming, fairly easy for an experienced group, we took a leaderboard spot whilst trying to take our time and enjoy the scenery. Lovely flow through the whole room. Very hands-on with lots for everyone to do. Great fun, family-friendly and well worth a visit!

Classic escape and adventure together. All Tulleys rooms are hard, and doing all of them day was very ambitious, but it was a fantastic experience and highly recommended.

Our hosts for all the games were Tyler, Ed and Mi. They were all friendly and went above and beyond to make our day memorable and fun.

If you enjoy the adventure aspect to escape rooms, I recommend this one. It needs a high degree of cooperation, I was also finding sand in my pockets for days!

Fantastic room! Absolutely packed with puzzles and the adrenaline was p-um-ping! It was well balanced with individual and group tasks and had a variety of puzzle types so it catered to everyone - probably a medium to hard difficulty. Set design was really impressive and it felt very immersive. Definitely one of our favourite ever rooms! Adam was an absolutely brilliant host too and we enjoyed it so much we're already planning our next trip to Tulley's 🙂

Very nice set. Pretty expansive.

Puzzles were all great, nothing too hard, but not too easy either - lots of them too!

We did this room as a team of two and I’d say it was the perfect difficulty for us as we finished the room in roughly 54 minutes.

Excellent hosting too!

Would definitely recommend this room and will 100% be going back to try their others.

A very nice room as expected from Tulley’s. Some clever and original puzzles. Sadly didn’t quite escape. Got a bit stuck on the final puzzle. Another 2 minutes we would have cracked it!  Worth a visit if you are in the area.

Really enjoyed this room! A lot to do but enjoyed the non linear nature which meant even though there was only 2 of us we could get it all done. The mix of puzzles, magnets, locks etc was spot on.

This is a fabulously solid, logical room with superb decor and the classic Tulley's attention to detail. There is a great variation of puzzles and all of them are rational, enjoyable puzzles with a strong piratical theme.

value for moneycleverimmersivequite difficult

Mutiny was a fun room, there's certainly a lot to do and the rooms are superb. The only downside is the amount of padlocks, almost every puzzle includes a padlock of some description, there are also padlocks for the room resetting which are all a certain colour and you are told to ignore, but in the heat of the moment you can find yourself wasting seconds trying to input a code into a non game piece. 

There is one puzzle in particular where half is available very early on, but you don't get to access the other half until much later, meaning you can also waste time trying to interpret the only bit you can see and trying that incorrect value in one of the many padlocks. 

The puzzles themselves were a good mix of physical and mental. Sometimes it was easier to brute force the last digit of a padlock instead of solving it, and we were able to completely skip a part by doing this, however, if we hadn't we would have failed. 

Overall a good room, great theme and immersive, we certainly felt like we had worked for the whole hour.

The set design / theming and puzzles were absolutely fantastic, but there was LOTS to do and a very non-linear style which left us (team of two) feeling quite demotivated. I really enjoyed the physical elements to this game.  Would recommend to bigger experienced groups or those who don't mind asking for clues.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Mutiny is Tulleys' pirate game, and it's a swashbuckling joy to play. A pirate theme demands good decorations, and this one delivers in spades. It has the same large footfall as its sibling game and is a clear step up in its visual impact. (Players should be warned that this is not a game to play wearing their smartest clothes.)

Before the game begins there's a slightly different version of the intro video we had for their other game, which was entertaining enough that we didn't mind listening ...

Tulleys deliver again with a beautiful set and solid puzzles. The one area where I felt that The Outfitters was lacking was on the physical puzzles front so it was great that this game was strong on that front with a couple of real standout elements.
According to Tulleys’ website, this is the easiest of their rooms. I would tend to agree, and think it would be an excellent choice for both enthusiasts and newcomers, alike

As you might expect for a ship, this game required more physicality than others, but these were more to reveal/solve puzzles than being the puzzle itself. There was one particularly unique feature of this room, which was fun to build and use, but otherwise, this was your average pirate room, just more polished and better executed. Ultimately we escaped with 22 mins left, and we had fun doing so, but we were looking forwards to the final room.

Whilst the Captain's asleep, can we reclaim our share of the treasure?

Now this room definitely had the wow factor in terms of theming and decoration! So much attention to detail and probably for me, the most immersive of all the Tulleys rooms.

The variety of puzzles was excellent and there was something that suited every member of our group! Some challenging physical puzzles as well as plenty of skillful ones. Definitely not the run-of-the-mill puzzles you might see in a standard escape room.

This room had some really great big puzzles which required more than just one brain and definitely more than one pair of hands! We had great fun rummaging around in the belly of this pirate ship, the puzzles were absolutely fantastic with lots of elements that we hadn’t come across before and, while not the most challenging of the Tulley’s Escape Adventures, it was an absolutely brilliant experience!

An epic swashbuckling adventure of a game that’s elaborately themed and occupies an impressive amount of floor space.

A well themed, good looking room, 4 different sections that keep well with the theme. One puzzle that was not clear exactly what it did, but was important to getting through, some way of better knowing what you have done would be better. Ultimately though, this is quickly forgotten due to the presence of a cannon! 

The set is beautiful, and absolutely massive. No spoilers, but the extent of it, over an hour did astound (and slightly panic!) us. One of those “OMG, there’s another room” games, with the added joy of a complete environment transformation halfway through
Potentially our favourite game to date. The level of details, the gameplay and the puzzle content is the perfect marriage and creates a fully immersive, enjoyable environment. This is what as escape room should be about. Fun and engaging and a feeling of value for money even if you escape well under the time. It’ll provide a challenge for beginners but a really fun ride for enthusiasts. Today, we’ve been spoiled!
