Another pirate-themed room! One of my favourites.
Story
As
Captain of the Mariposa, your crew have formed a mutiny and locked you in the ship’s
prison. Break out and search Tortuga Island for Derdrake’s treasure to break a
curse that will turn you into a spectre in an hour’s time. I really like this
creative plot, especially the mutiny.
Puzzles
A
selection of fun, pirate-y and, overall, not very difficult puzzles, making the
room more than suitable for beginners. A hint from the tablet literally gave us
the answer to one we were struggling with, which I disliked.
Mise-en-scène
All the sights and sounds
of the sea (and sand) from a pirate’s perspective. Tortuga Island was perhaps a
bit bare, but I did get desert island vibes.
A very well themed room split into several sections. the first part of the game was great with some really strong puzzles that weren't too challenging. That being said, the last part of Tortuga Pirates was a massive let down. we actually escaped still with padlocks locked. and when we asked the GM to explain, they responded that its fine, its not really needed. no explanation.
This would be a great game for anyone that's never done an escape room before or have done maybe just 1 or 2 but its definitely not one for seasoned players.
worth sticking your head in the door to see the scenery and theming but that is as far as i would recommend.

immersivegreat hosting
Room build and theming was quite immersive for this and good fun.
Lots of the puzzles felt very pratical, and some of them we found a bit
challenging but felt rewarding to work out.
Hosts remembered us from the first room we'd done there, and were lovely as always.
It was a while ago since I played this game, so my memory of it isnt great. I do remember really enjoying it, and there are certain parts of the game that I remember thinking were really cool in terms of theming and puzzles alike. I remember getting extremely side-tracked on something that was irrelevant, but of course, that would have been us, and not the room.
All in all, I remember it being a fun room, and would absolutely return to play more in the future.
Lovely people here at Escape Reality! Our hosts remembered us from the previous game and were really enthusiastic about our escape time.The game itself starts really strongly - we really enjoyed the first section. The puzzles are all logical and make a lot of sense and there is a good mix of searching and solving. We enjoyed one of the final puzzles particularly. A fun room with a strong theme!
The good pirate ship theming and well flowing puzzles made this a really fun room. It may be a little too easy for some escape room enthusiasts, but I can see escape room beginners and families loving this room.
Our favourite game at the venue but alas let down by poor customer service.
