Pirates of the Carolina Coast

Home for the holidays and my wife and I took my 70 year old parents for their first ever escape room. Very pleased with the game as an intro for them by not being too overwhelmingly difficult but enough to make us think up to the final few minutes. Staff were friendly and accommodating.

This was the final game we did at Whole Brain & that helped give a good perspective on the company as a whole. Like their other games, there's a linked fantasy-element overarching storyline. All of their games are older so expect a ton of locks. in regards to this game in particular, there are a lot of puzzles, so bring 3 to 4 people although two seasoned players have a chance, although to be fair, he did ask for more than a few hints. All in all, the puzzles were decently themed, and the flow really felt good, so we actually had a lot of fun. If you are in the Raleigh area, come to Whole Brain Escape and do their Dungeons and Dragons room, (Curse of the Crimson Moon) and add this one as well. If you have time permitting, you can add the other ones also.

This room was so fun! It was a bit tricky at times but I really appreciated that it was so easy to tell which answers/codes go to which locks. The labeling of everything in this room is great, it made the puzzles very straightforward- in fact, almost too straightforward. This was a very fun room and I would absolutely do it again!
