A great example of a pirate game, the puzzles are very well themed and logical, the room is well decorated to look like a pirate ship and there's a nice narrative and mission. A great fun room.
Gotta love a Pirate room, there are some good ideas on point even if it seemed a bit light on overall puzzling, theming is mostly good but there is definite room for enhancement which help level up this overall game.
The themeing and design here are great with so much achieved in a relatively small space. You are immersed in your exploring of a pirate ship with plenty of fun, engaging puzzles covering all types from logic to physical and teamwork. Games that make you work as a team are always enjoyable and this game has accomplished that. Another solid ending to leave satisfied
This game is themed perfectly! As soon as you step inside, you get the sense that you are on a pirate ship in the middle of a storm. They have put so much effort into the decor of this room.
This game starts very small and we were worried it wouldnt last long, but they have cleverly designed this game to unravel its secrets slowly. The props used for the puzzles work well and are well within theme. Unfortunately, there were a few puzzles that didnt work properly and we had to be given a big clue by the games master. The final element also didnt work on our first go, meaning it sort of just...ended.
Other than that, this room is fantastic and I recommend for both beginners and experienced escapers!
I’d been meaning to return to Escape Kent and play their pirate game for something like four years, during which time it’s gone from their exciting new game to one of the more venerable ones at the venue. There was a certain amount of buzz about it at the time, and I was pleased to find that it was still very much worth a visit.
You are (arrrr?) sneaking onto a ship in search of one Black Diamond, as explained by your pirate captain via video intro. Pirate games are often well decorated, and th...
A game we thoroughly enjoyed. There's a great set, a fun intro, a great variety of puzzles, a couple of nice surprises, a good sense of exploration and an impressive finale. Throughout our time in the room, it rarely put a foot wrong.
One of the biggest escape room cliches is “start small, expand”. You’ll often start a game in a small space before doing something to discover the existence of a second room that opens up the game. It’s a cliche both because it works well in offering new players a sense of discovery, and because most properties are generally divided into rooms for you already, so it’s easier to do. Not so Pirates of the Stormy Seas. On entering you can see and access the entire game area. And while other games have done this before, perhaps even with larger or more densely populated rooms, the way this game does it… well, let’s just say it’s on another level.
