This would be a great room for a novice or low-experienced group. We did it as the first of 2 during the day as an experienced team and it was a lovely warm up. The box is well designed and really clever. We didn't use any clues but I liked the way that room did them.

I have played chest games in other locations before and it was just a chest in an empty room, but I was pleasantly surprised when I entered and they had clearly put a lot of thought into the how the room looked! Made for a very immersive experience.

My first ever "semi-portable" escape room and I would 100% recommend it. 
I've seen other places offer this type of thing but from photos, it tends just to be set up in a back room and usually charged at the same price of their standard rooms. 
But with this pirate one, they went all out. Fully decorating a room to look like the inside of a pirate ship. 
I was skeptical they'd be enough content for a 60-minute game but we took just shy of the hour. 

Reviews by escape room review sites

I can totally understand why companies buy-in these box games, but so far, we’re not really a big fan of them. They often don’t match the quality of homemade games at the venue, and have so far been a lesson in frustration for us.
