Blackbeard is dead, his loot lies unguarded. Sink or swim? It’s up to you.
Step onto a pirate galleon in the middle of a battle for control of the High Seas. Your captain, the terrifying Blackbeard, has just been killed and his ship is shot to pieces and sinking fast.
With no chance of victory, you and your scurvy shipmates decide to jump ship – after helping yourself to the contents of Blackbeard’s legendary treasure chest.
You’ve broken into his cabin to grab all you can, but now the door has jammed shut and you’ve just 60 minutes to escape; any longer and you’ll drown – if the sharks don’t get you first.

A little light on the puzzles and some things were questionable, but on a EH scale it wasn't too bad.

It was ok and it looks great, but it's quite easy and there's a sound puzzle, which I'm not a huge fan of.

We returned to EscapeHunt as a team of two to celebrate Saint Valentine, as it seems to be a new tradition for us! Blackbeard Treasure was to the same quality level as The Last Vikings, really atmospheric with great decors and our host, Captain Michael, was on point! Similar to The Last Vikings, all our clues were given in character. "Hey matey, things tends to fall when on the sea, maybe check the floor" type of clues. Very similar to the Last Vikings, the puzzles were very hands on and only a few code locks within the room. The puzzles were of very varied difficulties, that would fit both experienced players with a 0 clues completion and new players who want to experience various types of puzzles that escape games can offer. One puzzle though was surprisingly made harder that it should have been as all the hints were already present on the piece of paper that you receive to solve it. Another great room for Liverpool! Highly recommend for anyone who hasn't tried EscapeHunt yet. Looking forward to try their 'Cowboys' room and the future Alice In Wonderland. 😮

This was the first escape room that we ever did. Whilst we did not escape and found the concept confusing as we weren't sure where to begin or what to do we enjoyed the set, as ultimately we returned to this site and completed them all. It was very story driven and family friendly.

This is the first escape room my team and I ever played! We thourougly enjoyed it, although we didn't escape 🙁 We were new to escape rooms and this room started off our escape rooming journey. Safe to say it got us hooked on the hobby 🙂

The set was really well done and the hosting was good from the team, they use funny accents which really set the vibe for the room.

great hostingbroken techoverpricedvery easy

Very easy room. Arrived at the centre to be told the sound was broken - bless the host as he tried his best to fill in for the missing audio!

The room was just very plain, easy puzzles and red-herrings that just distracted you from the point of the game. Very anticlimactic ending too which left a dampener on the whole experience.

These rooms are located in a city full of experiences that are so much better then what Escape Hunt has to offer, spend your money at one of those venues instead

The game themes that Escape Hunt have been rolling out sound a little like costume ideas for a children's party: cowboys, vikings, Doctor Who, pirates. Since this is an industry that deals in escapism, that's all to the good, and we eagerly signed up for their Blackbeard game.

Your job is to sneak into the cabin of the recently deceased Captain Blackbeard and swipe his loot before the ship sinks; our gamemaster played the role of our confederate on the outside with gusto. Pirate themes always s...

The tale of Blackbeard's Treasure goes - you and your team find yourself stranded on a sinking pirate ship. Sure, you could immediately jump ship and row your way across the ocean to safety but where would be the fun in that? Plus, rumour has it there is treasure aboard. The legendary Blackbeard's Treasure. It's hidden somewhere inside his personal quarters and its your job to find it and get to safety before the ship sinks.

Our least favourite game that we have played at Escape Hunt. The puzzles could have been really good but their execution was somewhat lacking. An enjoyable game overall however

We headed to Oxford only to end up on Blackbeards Sinking Ship. See how we got on finding the treasure and escaping a watery grave!
