It's the year 1663 and you find yourself on a desert island, when in the distance you see what looks like a washed up old crate... upon further inspection, it appears to be a pirate chest! But whos is it? What's in it? Is there treasure????

 

Only one way to find out.....

​

It doesn't seem very easy and straightforward, almost like they didn't want you to get in there! But you must persist and get to the bottom of this mystery box, who knows what you will find... happy treasure hunting!!

We had great fun in this room. The majority of the room follows a very non-linear style, so we immediately split up and took on a puzzle each. In the words of our wonderful GM "That start was absolute chaos." We love being able to divide and conquer, so this room suited us really well. The theming was great and the puzzles all worked well with the theme, though a pencil and paper may have suited this one better than the tablet provided for note-taking. I was also surprised at the lack of more physically demanding puzzles that pirate themes usually include, which is not necessarily a bad thing. This one is great for families! Communication and observation are key in here.

A good game with lovely set design, Avast had lots of puzzles that felt family friendly and was a good room to tackle. Not too difficult this one, loved the music in the room as it made it feel much more realistic.

Our time in Avast was short, but enjoyable. This is probably the easiest of the games at Escapable but that would make it good for beginners. Even then, I think enthusiasts would still have a good time.

Avast! is quite a kid-friendly room overall – no bloodcurdling pirate torture or cursed nautical peril. There were plenty of things Jack-Jack could help with and lots of nice props to interact with
