A decent effort at theming the room, though a background track of appropriate music/sound effects would have added to the immersion. Room contained a range of puzzle types, though linear in flow. Unfortunately a reset error of a key being left in a padlock detracted from the experience.

funnyimmersivegreat hostingquite easy
As the pro review says, this experience is more an immersive experience with puzzles than an escape room and reminded me very much of when Pier Pressure took over Preston Manor. That said, it was good fun - who wouldn't want to pretend to be a pirate on a replica of a famous medieval boat? The puzzles aren't complicated, but interacting with the cast - and more brilliantly - the boat itself is pretty cool. Probably more for the family than enthusiasts - not something you'd be looking to get a decent time for as you're very much dictated by the pace of other groups in front and behind you - just enjoy the experience.

cleverstory-driven
A reasonably new room and good fun. A bit chilly and distraction of road noise. Well themed and set out as soon as you’re inside. Really good hosting from Alfie. A few bits in here that make you think, I’d say it would be difficult for younger members. We broke the room record but honestly we made a few mistakes - I’d set the challenge that I think it’s achievable in 15 mins if a team is on it from the second they go in!

Lots to do in this room but we enjoy that as it meant there were many locks. It wasn't the best room we have ever done or the worst room. It is very basic and it is a shame they are closing as I think it could have been good for Boston and it is right on our doorstep. We now have to travel over an hour away to find an escape room we haven't done.

immersive
A really good experience - not quite up there with the best rooms in terms of puzzles and having enough to do, but the sets are great and there’s a really good finale! I’m not much of a back to the future fan, but if you are you’ll love this one!
