The Shipwreck

Really loved this one! Some easy puzzles mixed in with much more difficult ones. Attention to detail in the room is key :)

I’ve enjoyed rooms at this venue in the past, but hadn’t been since before the pandemic. This is supposedly a reasonably new room. I say “supposedly” because the props and set are in rough shape. We speculated that maybe the pirate theme attracts a lot of kids’ parties, because this room seems to have had a hard life. One major transition was broken to the point where the door won’t even close and the GM just had to say “don’t go or look in here until I tell you.” Several of the combination locks were very difficult to manipulate due to wear and tear. Other props had obvious visible damage. As far as the puzzles, the game is linear and there wasn’t anything terribly innovative or special, but it was… fine? I’d give this a thumbs-up just because there’s nothing especially bad about it — ten or even five years ago it would probably have been a room I liked a lot, simply because there are a lot of puzzles. But the state of disrepair is really inexcusable when you are charging full price and for that reason I have to give it a thumbs down. Call before you book and see if they’ve fixed the broken door, is all I’m saying.

This was a really fun room! The puzzles were challenging. One puzzle really stumped us even after getting clues, we still missed what we were looking for. We had fun even though we did not escape.

Lots of locks and maps. Solved something very quickly without using puzzle in room and game master let us keep fussing with the thing used to solve that puzzle so that was disappointing Lol we had to sing pirate songs and dance to get clues.

Solid game, looks amazing. It’s brand new so still has a few kinks but I’m sure it will smooth out over time.
