Port Royal, 1718. Piracy in the Caribbean is spreading more than ever. You are the Captain of the famous Mariposa ship. Your crew has formed a mutiny and locked you and some of your friends in the prison of your ship. But you can’t stay there, you need to complete the mission you were undertaking: to find Derdrake’s treasure buried somewhere in Tortuga Island. You need the treasure to get rid of a terrible curse that will transform you into a spectre. You need to hurry, the prophecy will come true with the First Moon.

Room build and theming was quite immersive for this and good fun. Lots of the puzzles felt very pratical, and some of them we found a bit challenging but felt rewarding to work out.

Hosts remembered us from the first room we'd done there, and were lovely as always.

value for money

It was a while ago since I played this game, so my memory of it isnt great. I do remember really enjoying it, and there are certain parts of the game that I remember thinking were really cool in terms of theming and puzzles alike. 
I remember getting extremely side-tracked on something that was irrelevant, but of course, that would have been us, and not the room. 

All in all, I remember it being a fun room, and would absolutely return to play more in the future.

great hosting
Lovely people here at Escape Reality! Our hosts remembered us from the previous game and were really enthusiastic about our escape time.The game itself starts really strongly - we really enjoyed the first section. The puzzles are all logical and make a lot of sense and there is a good mix of searching and solving. We enjoyed one of the final puzzles particularly.  A fun room with a strong theme!

Reviews by escape room review sites

The good pirate ship theming and well flowing puzzles made this a really fun room. It may be a little too easy for some escape room enthusiasts, but I can see escape room beginners and families loving this room.

Our favourite game at the venue but alas let down by poor customer service.
