A decent room overall but spoiled by one of the last puzzles having a missing item, which has been replaced with an incorrect item. A simple reprint of a label would fix it. Very frustrating to waste 10 mins on it.
Our 2nd visit, and I've been unimpressed by the hosting on both occasions. Each time a member of staff seemed to be working alone and be split between multiple rooms. A real shame as I'd heard these were owner run and really good.

This was a quick room for us, but we did enjoy it. It's closing soon so do go if you want to do it. It's mainly traditional, manual puzzles, which we enjoyed.

Probably the most traditional of the rooms here at Pirate Escape, this has arguably the best gameplay. There's a lovely mix of puzzles, a very clear theme that is adhered to throughout and mostly very logical puzzles. As a room for a family, this would be a real winner but we had great time as a couple of enthusiasts nevertheless.
Very friendly hosts and a no stress, family-run atmosphere, which is just how we like it.

A nicely challenging room with a lovely big floor plan and plenty to keep us going. There was a particularly good light puzzle and a decent variety of puzzle variations in a room that could challenge less experienced teams, purely because there is quite a bit to do.
Our hosts were really pleasant and made it a very enjoyable trip out to Whitley Bay.

A solid game that offers some nice techy bits and bobs and a decent floor plan. There were a couple of really lovely communication-based puzzles and everything made sense. Our hosts were really lovely - a very warm welcome.

A great game with some unique puzzles, didn’t enjoy it as much as some of the others at this venue but it was very good nevertheless.

This one was definitely harder than the other games we have played at Whitley bay but was very good, great theatrics with lights going out etc.
