Probably best pirate themed room we have done. Well themed, nice mix of puzzles, and great hosting!
Ridiculously simple room, the hardest part of it was the music puzzle which was near impossible if you're not a trained musician
Extremely well themed, I love the little pirate touches. Some simple puzzles become extremely memorable due to the theming, some more interesting puzzles.
As others have said lots of the puzzles are broken and if you struggle with musical puzzles this game has a particularly difficult puzzle with poor hosting making it more difficult.
Not a bad room. Fairly easy. Visually pleasing.
Be warned, there are puzzles in this room that no longer work and are therefore no longer part of the game. Rather than removing them from the room, these puzzles are still in there. We had to be clued from the GM a couple of times as we were trying to solve puzzles which were no longer part of the game. We were told to ignore these and move on.
Uncomprehendable.

Our least favourite game that we have played at Escape Hunt. The puzzles could have been really good but their execution was somewhat lacking. An enjoyable game overall however
