This is a very solid escape room for its difficulty level. The two of us didn’t finish in enough time for the bonus, sadly.

Gameplay

Classic escape room.

Atmosphere

Pretty immersive.

Customer service

Great!

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

There’s a bonus puzzle at the end if you finish with at least 20 to spare. Allegedly 10/10 difficult.

Story

Normal pirate stuff.

Difficulty

Easy

This wasn’t a difficult room. It would be pretty easy with more than two people.

Game tech

Mechanical

Typical escape room.

Ideal number of players

I only do two-player, so I don’t know. Four people if you wanna do the bonus probably.

Scary

Not scary

Normal pirate stuff.

Minimum age

I have no idea.

Was anything broken?

Yes

Wooden slidey box thing felt weird.

Live actors

No live actors, but there was a dead one in the brig.

Physically active

Not at all

Chill.

Accessibility

I tripped on these stairs like five times, but it’s one of the more accessible rooms I’ve done. The bonus has flashing lights though.

We won the room but timed out on the 4 bonus boxes! Next time we will do better super cool concept though they start you off with a clue when you win the room and run from there!

Wow. This room blew us away from its immersion. The puzzles were very well crafted and several were quite innovative. There were a few very well timed special effects that really added to the wow factor. The company says it’s a 6/10 for difficulty but it felt right on par with some of their other 8/10 difficulty rooms. That being said, we were able to smoothly escape with just a team of two. As an added bonus, there are a few “bonus” puzzles to complete if time allows at the end. These puzzles were certainly afterthoughts (and incredibly difficult), but rightfully so. They added a fun last challenge that topped off a wonderful experience.

Thank you Matthew! We are so happy to hear you enjoyed this game. The bonuses are meant to add value to players who tend to have quicker finish times. The challenge is meant to be very difficult to allow you to have more use of your time in the space. You guys did great on the bonuses too :D

This room was pretty fun and had great atmosphere. There was one puzzle that didn’t totally make sense, I figured it out by ignoring parts of it but when I asked the GM he also said he had no idea it didn’t make sense either. So that was a bit weird. We were also bummed we were not able to play the bonus puzzles because we needed to finish the room 2 min earlier (20 min before the hour finished), but that is our own fault!

Thank you for the kind review. This was totally on us :D Your GM was new and just off training last week, our error for not completely training them. I apologize for the missteps. Don't tell anyone, but he could have totally let you try the bonuses too :P We hope you will join us again soon and give him a chance at redemption lol

Despite a pretty standard pirate escape room theme, this room still managed to shine though with superior theming and unique puzzles. Also greatly enjoyed the addition of the bonus puzzles--we finished the room itself in 38 minutes, but the puzzles gave us an added 22 minutes of fun and challenge, we completed those with literally 13 seconds left! We would still choose some of the other Herndon rooms over this one, but it is a top notch option.

Gameplay

Plenty to do and somewhat non linear, so kept everyone busy. Also a few unique spins on the pirate theme puzzles that we had not seen before.

Atmosphere

Well themed as all of Herndon games are; especially appreciated that they made the effort to include animated views for the portholes.

Customer service

Top notch treatment as always even when they were clearly busy on a holiday weekend night.

Particularly interesting or different

Standard pirate theme, but appreciated the addition of the bonus puzzles

Story

Pretty basic pirate story, but well told

Difficulty

Medium

Room itself was pretty standard difficulty but the bonus puzzles require real insight--those are best for experienced players

Game tech

Mechanical

Mostly mechanical, but in a way that wasn't just opening lock after lock (although there are a few)

Ideal number of players

Large room to hold lots of folks, and think a few extra minds will help you make it through the bonus puzzles

Scary

Not scary

Minimum age

Basically suitable for all ages

Was anything broken?

Live actors

Physically active

A few points where you have to get low on the ground

Accessibility

You do have to go very low for one puzzle, and do a high reach for another; there are also stairs at one point

We are happy you enjoyed Maritiem Mutiny. It is meant to be an easier game that friends can use to introduce others to the concept of Escape Rooms. We do have the ultra-hard bonus puzzles in Mutiny just for those hardcore players looking for an extra challenge.
