We were so excited for this game and drove 1.5 hours to play. The game itself is in part of the old engine room of the Queen Mary, so it had some authentic atmosphere. Unfortunately, some of the puzzles were so tedious they were complicated, and when we asked for a hint, we were read the same paper that we already had. Therefore, it wasn’t helpful. We got stuck in one of the rooms because the puzzle we were trying to finish was almost impossible and was a stretch to figure out even with clues. When our time was up and the game master came in, she couldn’t even get the puzzle to work. They only have a 30% success rate of escaping therefore that should tell them that they either need to extend the time or they need to make some more appropriate clues to help you figure out what to do.
This room has such potential, but there are some major issues and puzzles that are just not intuitive that they need to fix in order for the game to be fun. So unless they fix some of the games, I don’t think I would fully recommend this escape room. I only gave it a thumbs up because it has such great potential.
It’s very linear, so when your get stuck on a puzzle several people are standing around with nothing to do.
You’re in part of the old engine room of the ship, so very cool. We’ve played over 100 rooms and we saw some new puzzles that we’ve never seen before. They could definitely add some more props.
Our game master was very engaged and tried to help.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Yes, it had some unusual puzzles.
It has a fun storyline and given the ships history it fit right in
We are an expert group of six people who have done over 100 rooms and we were not able to escape. Our game master said we only completed about 70% of the room. This is only the second room we have ever not escaped.
