"The legend of Pier 18 endures—a tale of a fisherman-turned-killer whose spirit is said to haunt the harbor he once commanded”. Or so the Spirit Stalkers Tour Squad will tell you! As your tour group shuffles past the condemned pier, you feel an undeniable pull, one that draws you beyond the safety of police barricades to the pier's edge. Waves whisper long-lost secrets, and you can almost hear sad ship bells echo, carrying the weight of eternal sorrow. The Sinkerman beckons. Are you prepared to confront the chilling truth behind the legend, or will you become another spectral footnote in the ghost stories told on the Pier 18 tours?"

Great atmosphere! Fun room with lots to do. So glad we came out and did it. The reviews are right. It’s a fun room. Cornstalkers at the Orlando location beats this one, but it’s a close second.

Haunted Harbor is yet another great room from The Escape Ventures, solidifying their reputation for high-quality set design and engaging gameplay. The room features a very high puzzle density, making it an excellent choice for groups who want a smorgasbord of challenges to work through within the allotted time. We admittedly got tripped up on the most obvious puzzle right at the beginning, but once we found our rhythm, our coordinated team communication kicked in and we navigated the mechanical flow of the room extremely well. We did require a few hints along the way, but the puzzle logic was always sound and made perfect sense once revealed. The only minor drawback occurred right at the start of the experience. The ambient music in the foyer, where the game officially begins, was a bit too loud. This made it slightly difficult to hear the introduction and detracted just a bit from the initial immersion into the theme. However, this was a very minor issue in the grand scheme of the otherwise fantastic gameplay within the room itself.
Clever use of lighting by turning on/off lights to steer them to a certain area or room. Makes it less frustrating so we don't need to excessively search in the wrong area and keeps the flow to continue solving puzzles
A huge shoutout to our Game Master, James3. He was an incredibly knowledgeable host who generously spent time after the game to answer all of our questions, provide behind-the-scenes insights, and offer excellent recommendations for future rooms to play. It is a highly recommended experience for anyone looking to tackle a puzzle-heavy, fast-paced room!

My favorite room here at this venue. The theme was on point. As someone who has done over 60+ rooms, the puzzles were pretty challenging. A few puzzles we haven’t experienced before so that was fun! Our game master Cassidy was great and really stayed in character.

KJ2? Number 1!!! We had an amazing experience. This game was a challenge but none of the puzzles were unfair and we will definitely be back to play the rest.

Another home run for Escape Ventures! Our family of four (including our 10 year old son) took on the Haunted Harbor. This was our 8th escape room with Escape Ventures across all 3 locations and it didn’t disappoint. The storyline was fun, our game master was engaging and the set design and game mechanics flowed smoothly. We had so much fun completing the puzzles, which were unique, fun, and intuitive. Looking forward to playing the rest of the rooms Escape Ventures has to offer.
Gameplay was intuitive, everything flowed well and was enjoyable.
Everything fit perfectly, we felt immersed in the environment.
James the Third played the part well and made our experience enjoyable.

Everything from the storyline, to the props, to the special effects just fit in well and made the escape room very fun for our family of 4.
Unique storyline coupled with well thought-out set design and gameplay elements.
