Beautiful build and real immersion with the scale of set built here! The puzzles are well themed to the game and plays really well!
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.
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
Great set, lots of puzzles really enjoyed it!
After playing a few other pirate themed escape rooms, this on feels a bit boring for someone who's done a few. But great for kids.
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!
Good fun, very sterile introduction from hosts. Game was a little worn in parts and damaged which was disappointing. Overall had fun.
I was playing with a team of 3 (2 of them only done 3 rooms so quite amateur). it has some mixture puzzle such as mental, logical, physical etc. Some puzzle were quite annoying/stressful but solid theming and great experience.
First ever game played so I see it a bit through rose tinted spectacles possibly. Now with experience I believe it may be slightly easier for enthusiasts but it was perfect for newbie. No matter your experience though, the set it still up there as one of the best we’ve seen 😊
There were quite a lot of us for this room, but we all really enjoyed it. I love the decor, I think it's the best theme at Escape Kent.
The first escape room we had ever attempted, no idea what to expect and we weren't disappointed. Completed as a large group (who also had never done an escape room before.) We managed to just scrape out before the time limit but most of this was down to the large group size.
Having completed the room again when we have better experience with escape rooms I can say the theming is good and the puzzles are interesting, not just padlocks. Multiple doors to open and areas to explore would definitely recommend.

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...
