Very unique. Lovely, fitting set design, a great storyline and some pretty amazing fx. One of the coolest rooms I've ever done!

Escape Boat’s first game shows they had a very strong grasp on how to make a compelling experience from the beginning. From the unusual set to a truly one of a kind ending - I can’t recommend this game enough for those seeking authentic adventure. Navigating the spaces was absolutely awesome and I loved how it still felt massive despite its small footprint - they have another full sized game aboard as well! As a bonus, our game master Marta was absolutely incredible and super helpful - her passion for the industry is super apparent. This is a must visit company for any enthusiast in the area!
Gameplay
While there were one or two points where we became quite stuck, overall the game made sense and felt fair!
Atmosphere
It’s on a real 100 year old boat, plus they added some truly unreal effects.

Marta was an incredible host - super kind and accommodating!

Enjoyed the novel experience of an escape room ON a boat! Many interactive elements that isn’t just “finding numbers and unlocking locks”. Didn’t realize my feet was going to get wet and I was wearing sandals but it’s okay 😅 Be weary of cramped and dark spaces. Two people was actually a great number for this game.

The boat escape was an unmatched experience, I’ve done a lot of escape rooms already so there’s not a lot of surprises most of the time, however this was one of my favorites. It wasn’t difficult, had a lot of basic riddles but the atmosphere and the finale was incredible. I really enjoyed it and would 100% recommend to anyone!

This room is incredibly well themed with immersive elements throughout. Puzzles used well-designed props that integrated the gameplay seamlessly into the environment. My only gripe is that the final room's immersive elements, while very impressive, impede the gameplay a bit and some of the puzzles in the final room have an element of "guess what I'm thinking", although this may be cope from needing hints on them.
Gameplay
The puzzles themselves were nothing novel, but the input and output mechanisms really brought them over the top. The structure was very linear, but that did help keep things straight. Some of the puzzles in the final room had a "guess what I'm thinking" kind of difficulty I didn't love
Atmosphere
This is the most immersive room I've played by a mile from an atmosphere perspective. All the set design was top notch, and the special effects were absolutely incredible.

Was anything broken?
No
There were a few input mechanisms that didn't take on the first try (notably a direction input padlock) but nothing actually broken.

Does require at least one participant to maneuver in tight spaces
Accessibility
Mobility issues are probably a no-go, and vision would likely prove difficult. Hearing and color blindness should be fine. Certain elements have a high likelihood of overstimulation for those succepitble

Super unique escape room — it’s inside a real 100+ year old boat, which already makes the whole experience feel different from a typical room. The setting is really immersive, and the puzzles add a fun amount of pressure without feeling unfair. Also, be prepared that the experience might involve getting a little wet 😉. Overall, super cool and memorable.
