Shiver me timbers! The room decor and special effects were fabulous! Everything about our experience was high quality - we loved the puzzles (especially one! You'll know which one after you play...) and the whole Intrepid staff was amazing. This was my 44th room (39W - 5L) so I still consider myself a novice. My family says I need to change that label to "intermediate", but since I ride the coat-tails of one of our players, I'm sticking with "novice" awhile longer. I played with two other adults with similar stats and we escaped with only 2:50 remaining after three hints. Three players felt like a good number in this mostly non-linear room as we all had something to work on. We played all three rooms at Intrepid today (Relic, Subway, and Jewel) and loved all three.
Gameplay
The room decor was amazing. The story flowed well and there were lots of puzzles to keep our group of three occupied.
Atmosphere
The set design, props, special effects, and even clue delivery were high quality. Everything was beautiful and very immersive.
Customer service
The entire staff at Intrepid is wonderful. From the moment we arrived we were enthusiastically greeted, they were funny, knowledgeable, and patient. We usually request that no hints be given without us asking and they were very respectful of that. But, lol, we ended up asking for three - gasp!
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Even though it was a pirate story which is repeated throughout other businesses, I felt that the room decor and puzzles were so high quality that this room sets itself apart from many others.
Story
The plot was memorable and integrated throughout the experience. (tbh, I don't usually listen to the back story but my team does and they liked this story).
Difficulty
Medium
I would say that this room was on the hard side of medium, or the medium side of hard. We had to ask for three hints, which is rare for us. Two were silly things we overlooked but the third hint was for something we were truly stumped on. This was my 44th room (39W - 5L) and I played with two other adults with similar stats.
Game tech
High tech
This mostly non-linear room is a nice mixture of tech and mechanical.
Ideal number of players
3
We played as a group of three which was perfect for us but four or five would be fine too. Two players would be challenging (especially with one of the puzzles) but do-able.
Scary
Not scary
We don't play scary rooms...
Minimum age
8
The room is family friendly so my suggestion of age 8 is only based on typical attention span. If you have a younger enthusiast, certainly include them in your adventure!
Was anything broken?
No
Everything was high quality and in perfect working condition.
Live actors
No
No actors, thank goodness.
Physically active
Somewhat
Only the usual frantic escape-room-running-around. Nothing strenuous.
Accessibility
I think the room is large enough for a wheel chair, however, visual and color ability is needed.
Easy to find location
Yes
Parking

Home grown room with lots of cool puzzles and surprises. Probably good with 3+, but we did fine with 2. The room worked together really nicely and we had a blast!

By far the best room at intrepid. Room design was really well made, and enjoyed the puzzles here as well. Definitely a must do if you are new to escape rooms. Sweet spot is definitely 4, any more might take away from the experience.
Gameplay
Design was fun and creative. Progression was also creative.
Atmosphere
Again, by far the best at Intrepid.
Customer service
Everyone at Intrepid from our experience playing all 3 games are awesome!

Good but not by any means a special room. One nice special effect but the actual puzzle quality was medium and the room is very small overall. 7/10

The room in general was a great build and a super fun team effort! Great effects and good attention to detail. Definitely a good experience from start to finish!!

This was a fantastic room - the only thing that could make it better is if it lasted longer! The set design and little details were spot on, and there was a nice mix of mechanical/physical, observational, logic and actual puzzles. We love rooms that are non-linear, which allows everyone to work on something at the same time, but it also means that we kind of blew through the first set of challenges and finished the room pretty quickly. GM was friendly and funny - we LOVED the intro/opening that Intrepid uses for all their games, which is one of the most clever and immersive we’ve ever experienced. Overall I think these rooms are very well done, and would look forward to returning if they ever open a hard/difficult room.

Such a good room! We love intrepid and we’re sad that we’ve now done all their rooms. This one was definitely our favorite with the theme and the decor. The puzzles are different and really require cooperation at certain points. Char was an incredible game master and we can’t wait to go back when their new room opens!
Gameplay
Gameplay is excellent, the story is fun and the room has so many clever puzzles that are outside of the norm
