Captain Mayhem is one of the most notorious and feared pirates in history. In 1636, leading a band of scoundrels, he set sail on The Revenge. Destined for the settlements in the New World, he vowed to conquer and destroy anyone in his way. After raiding and scuttling several Spanish galleons’ laded with Mayan treasure, Captain Mayhem’s luck soured and his fate was sealed. A violent storm proved fatal. The Captain and crew were lost. Over the centuries, explorers have searched for The Revenge and its long lost treasure. Recently, an unidentified 17th century ship was discovered by amateur explorers. Their wild tale of an encounter with a blood-thirsty pirate captain was quickly dismissed. While vacationing on a private island in the Caribbean, you and your group stumble upon the rotting remains of what could very likely be the infamous vessel. Upon examining the wreckage, something’s not right. Suddenly, you’re trapped! It’s the ghost of Captain Mayhem. The only way to stay alive is to locate the treasure and escape from the hold. Will you be able to work together to solve the riddles and locate the clues that will lead to the treasure and a way to escape. Or will you join the crew in their watery grave?

Captain Mayhem’s Revenge: A sunken pirate ship hides its secrets in the deep blue sea. We had to solve the mystery to find Captain Mayhem’s treasure. Pros: Upon entering the room we were immediately impressed by the set design of Captain Mayhem. The feeling of being inside the confines of a pirate ship added to our excitement for playing the game. The set was solidly constructed adding to the overall smooth game flow. The puzzles were fun to solve. We struggled to find our starting point in the beginning but after a helpful nudge from our game master, we were on our way. No hints were necessary from that point on as we proceeded quickly through the puzzles until we uncovered the hidden treasure. We had minimal interaction with the game master but he was ready to help on a moment’s notice. Cons: We had to do a bit of unconventional thinking at times to make a few of the puzzles work. The puzzles were not illogical per se. Rather they required us to think of alternative solving strategies. When in Bowling Green we definitely recommend Mind Bender as your first stop!

The puzzles were fun and we were never "stuck," stuff progressed as it should, etc. We happened to be in town & this was a solid way to pass the time if you enjoy puzzles. But it lacked the "oomf" I've seen in some other escape rooms—the set design is pretty simple, there's not much of a narrative, and the puzzles were mostly of the "find the 4 digit code to unlock the thing" variety. Worth it if you're in town but maybe not if you'd be coming from some distance away.
