Review by Scotus0 expert
A Cut-Throat, Cut-Short Crusade
We were looking at the leader boards in disbelief because of the record-breaking times…but that would all soon make sense.
Story
Raid Blackbeard’s cabin for his treasure, but abandon ship before it sinks.
Puzzles
They fit the theme nicely, but one or two were frustrating to complete.
Mise-en-scene
The room looked swashbuckling enough, that’s for sure. I believed we had stepped onto a pirate galleon.
Final Comments
What a disappointingly short game! Where were the rest of the puzzles? The ending especially felt rushed and uninspired. We had over 20 minutes left on the clock. When you could be paying up to £25 per person, Blackbeard’s Treasure just isn’t worth the money.
