The other review on here recaps our experience here as well. Way too big of teams for the puzzles, we had to fight to be able to do any of them while half the team just hung around. They hosted this in a very cramped space with your complete stranger teammates almost on your lap. Our team got so close, but the clues along the way stunk, so none of the teams actually won. Unfortunately it was a poor execution, but I was happy to see a fun puzzle game on a cruise either way.

Disorganized and over filled. Multiple teams each with their own box of identical clues. Our team had more people than could fit in the half circle booth they put us in making it hard for people to even reach the table if they were in chairs. Some people gave up and left making it easier. Goal is to find a phone number and dial it on a phone in the middle of the room after solving clues on laminated cards to open a box with more clues in the box giving you the number. No real GM, the staff were too busy talking to each other (they aren't dedicated to the game and this is only one function of their entertainment jobs on board the ship, so they used the time to slack off and hang out aka downtime). The only "hints" you get are a recording that plays at pre-determined intervals for everyone in the room at the same time. We solved the puzzle but didn't reach the phone before the game ended. Staff didn't want to confirm we had it correct encouraging us to do it again, though wouldn't be fair to another team if we knew the answers. Eventually they confirmed we were correct.
