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.
