Avast!

I'd been looking out for a pirate-themed challenge, and so when I came across this one on Groupon, I was very excited!

Story

Steal treasure from Blackbeard's ship.

Puzzles

A fair few nautical puzzles to crack, making good use of the props and scenery. Something went wrong, though (a technical fault), meaning we skipped a sizable portion of the room, hence the quick escape time.

Mise-en-scène

Marvellous! From the ceiling to the floorboards, consider my timbers shivered. Cannons, parrots, skeletons, swords, a ship's wheel...it had everything pirate-related you could possibly think of in there. I felt like a buccaneer at sea.

Final Comments

The theming really stood out to me, so top marks there. Unintentionally skipping puzzles is annoying, though.

It was ok, but there are broken bits, the GM is running multiple games and it looks a bit tired.
