Mark as done to rate

In the year 2210, your reputation as the galaxy’s most adept space pirates precedes you. Having mastered the dark expanse, your team has been tasked with a high-stakes mission: to infiltrate the Orion’s Shadow, a small unassuming research vessel. Rumors suggest that hidden within lies a piece of experimental technology, rumored to possess the power to redefine the boundaries of space exploration. Your mission is critical: board the Orion’s Shadow, navigate its defense systems, and extract the technology before its auto-defenses can engage the self-destruct sequence. You must tread carefully—sensors on the ship are primed to detect unauthorized intruders, and a single misstep could trigger an explosive end not just for the mission, but for your entire crew as well. Strategy, stealth, and quick thinking are your best allies as you delve into the heart of danger aboard a ship that holds the future of space travel in its ghostly silence.

Ive been a long time visitor of Lock and Clue, and I’m so glad it’s still in excellent hands with the new owner! Space Pirates itself is a super fun, creative take on the space ship game. The set was unusually designed, which made it more interesting to navigate than most space ship games I’ve played. The effects and interfaces added a lot as well - especially one particularly cool piece of tech that I’ve never seen in any escape room I’ve done (and I’ve done quite a few). If you’re in the area, I’d highly recommend stopping at Mystery Soup and playing their games - they’re a gem in the local market.

Creative, fun, and highly fluid, with a lot of variety

There was a tech issue near the beginning of the game, but it wasn’t a big deal. They immediately came to fix it and joked about how they had to fight off some aliens to make sure it was safe for us.

Space Pirates at Mystery Soup! Don't feed the critters, but it's ok to want to pet them (please don't). A couple of tech issues that didn’t take away from our mission. The game play was enjoyable and Game Master Zach was awesome.

My wife and son had a great time in this room. I personally really loved the futuristic space ship setting! This room is probably on the easier side but still a lot of fun. Loved feeling like a captain on my own bridge.

This company has such a great set of rooms. Not one of them is bad! The space Pirates was a lot of fun, and we really enjoyed all the neat technology and fun puzzles in the room. My only complaint is now I want to buy a little furry tribble space animal like they had in the room! Not sure what planet I have to go to to get one though! Lol

Gameplay

Had some great puzzles, and a good flow to the room that kept pacing working well!

Atmosphere

It definitely looked and felt like I was on a spaceship! Lots of cool tech and design elements, as well as some fun tech puzzles that I’ve never seen before!!!

Customer service

Curt and Tina did such an amazing job with this! Again, Curt got into character and made this room over the top!!!

You don't want one of those critters, Chris. They just sit there and purr. Boring. lol Thanks for another wonderful review.

Great new room with plenty of space. Added the event for my 6 year old to find aliens within the room which kept her engaged while we solved puzzles.

The set on this game was amazing & super Immersive. Puzzles were more tech than lock & key, which was cool though 1 was kind of difficult to navigate. Puzzles were fun & challenging - sometimes we over-thought them & made them more difficult than necessary! There were puzzles that made use of everyone's different styles/talents. The interactive ending was fun

The game wasn't really "physically active" but you do have to move back & forth through rooms.

Accessibility

1 of the rooms has multiple levels so people with mobility issues may not be able to do some of the puzzles or may have a hard time stepping from level to level

Easy to find location

Yes

The business may be tricky to find within the building but the owners are doing all they can to help make that easier
