Step aboard the Black Horizon and claim the ghostly treasure of a fallen pirate captain. Recover the lost map, explore the darkened decks, and fire the cannons to signal your crew—before his ghost takes the ship back for good! Ready for a high-seas adventure like no other? Your team is traveling back to the golden age of piracy, where you’ll find yourselves aboard the ship of a fearsome pirate captain. To complete your mission, you must steal the map, claim the captain’s key, and uncover the secrets of the legendary Dead Man’s Chest. But beware—the ship is full of surprises, and time is running out before you’re caught. With immersive environments, thrilling surprises, and a working cannon (yes, really!), this isn’t just an escape—it’s a swashbuckling mission through time! Will you seize the treasure, or will history remember you as just another crew lost at sea?

I had a lot of fun in this room, despite it being a very small space. The puzzles were interesting and on theme. The soundtrack and set were great. This is one of three new rooms that Key and Code partnered with Labyrinth in Boise and I was worried that it would be the same as the room in Boise with basically the same name, but I was pleasantly surprised with this room and their Mayan room, that they really stand on their own. The three new rooms are really enjoyable and I recommend them.

There is a second story/loft area, but not everyone needs to go up there.

Accessibility

There are stairs that go to a second story loft/ catwalk. It is open to the first story so the team can still communicate and see each other. It is not necessary that everyone goes upstairs.

Their best room yet! Everything flowed well and made sense. Very good room. Some non linear and a few really cool puzzles in a well themed room!
