A decent offering with some lovely puzzles and a gameplay that makes a lot of sense. Not too tricky but enough in here to make it a room that's both enjoyable and substantial.

We didnโ€™t know what to expect playing this game as weโ€™d heard great things and sometimes games donโ€™t live up to the hype, but it was fantastic, and still sits in our top 5 games played.

The theming was awesome, and the puzzles were clever. Lots of tech, but tech that worked thankfully. As two seasoned escapers we didnโ€™t rush, just enjoyed ourselves, and still had over 5 minutes to spare at the end. I think if youโ€™re new to escaping then you might struggle as a two to get out within the hour, but absolutely recommended.

Reviews by escape room review sites

The UK's largest escape room franchise has been busy this year, with new branches popping up across the country. In London they've added a branch in Shadwell to the existing one in West London to double the number of games on offer. Seven Seas is one of the new additions, and uses a pirate theme.

My experience with Escape is that they usually provide beginner-friendly rooms that are reliably entertaining as mainstream escape experiences. My first impression on entering this one was that they've...

A pretty game with some fun puzzles, but our enjoyment was severely impaired by the ambiguity of a couple of solutions. If you get easily frustrated, you should definitely steer clear of this experience but if not, then there's definitely some fun to be had.
If youโ€™ve done rooms at Escape Peterborough before then this room will be nothing like them. Theyโ€™ve really upped their game with this room and the only rival for it there is The Cabin. Good theming, decent puzzles (although padlock heavy), but swash-buckling fun

Initial impressions as we walked in the room; it was well decorated and themed, creating an authentic atmosphere.Initially you start off in two split locked spaces, searching around for what you need to get out, communicating all the while between the groups.
