The boat escape was an unmatched experience, I’ve done a lot of escape rooms already so there’s not a lot of surprises most of the time, however this was one of my favorites. It wasn’t difficult, had a lot of basic riddles but the atmosphere and the finale was incredible. I really enjoyed it and would 100% recommend to anyone!

This room is incredibly well themed with immersive elements throughout. Puzzles used well-designed props that integrated the gameplay seamlessly into the environment. My only gripe is that the final room's immersive elements, while very impressive, impede the gameplay a bit and some of the puzzles in the final room have an element of "guess what I'm thinking", although this may be cope from needing hints on them.

Gameplay

The puzzles themselves were nothing novel, but the input and output mechanisms really brought them over the top. The structure was very linear, but that did help keep things straight. Some of the puzzles in the final room had a "guess what I'm thinking" kind of difficulty I didn't love

Atmosphere

This is the most immersive room I've played by a mile from an atmosphere perspective. All the set design was top notch, and the special effects were absolutely incredible.

Was anything broken?

No

There were a few input mechanisms that didn't take on the first try (notably a direction input padlock) but nothing actually broken.

Does require at least one participant to maneuver in tight spaces

Accessibility

Mobility issues are probably a no-go, and vision would likely prove difficult. Hearing and color blindness should be fine. Certain elements have a high likelihood of overstimulation for those succepitble

Super unique escape room — it’s inside a real 100+ year old boat, which already makes the whole experience feel different from a typical room. The setting is really immersive, and the puzzles add a fun amount of pressure without feeling unfair. Also, be prepared that the experience might involve getting a little wet 😉. Overall, super cool and memorable.

Highly recommend. What a fun concept of an escape room on a boat! And it’s a boat themed concept with some cool elements that added to the stress and excitement!! It was awesome. Just book it!

Gameplay

What an awesome and immersive concept - a sinking boat escape on a boat!

Atmosphere

You’re on a boat - it was awesome.

Customer service

The staff was super welcoming and friendly.

Difficulty

Not the hardest but required some thinking and good teamwork. Fairly linear in execution but well worth it.

2 escape rooms

A great escape room for more experienced players - we have done a couple of escape rooms before this and found it challenging but doable at the same time. A different experience than the standard escape room format and great use of space - we thought the puzzles were well thought out and in depth & in line with the storyline. We weren’t blown away but would still highly recommend.
