It was end 1719! The legendary pirate single-eyed Willie, having looted everything he encountered in the sea, is informed by a captive, just before killing him, of the existence of a tune that would endow him not with eternal riches but eternal life if he ever happened to hear it! Well, he decided to follow the steps indicated and try to make it his!
And that is how it all turned out!
Willie managed to steal the tune from the aboriginals of the distant island Ram and took shelter in his hideout! However he underestimated the spiritual strength of the aboriginals who cursed him ยซTo live eternally, yet without flesh!ยป. The myth goes that ever since no one has seen him and whoever tried to enter his hideout was unable to exit it ever, even his soul was captured!
Well, you are now castaways on the Ram island!
Ona aboriginals capture you! To let you go they demand to be given back the tune. Blindfolded they lead you, after walking for hours, to Willieโ€™s hideout that they managed to locate after years of search!
The hideout opens its gates every hour.
Will you manage to steal the tune of everlasting life, thus winning your freedom from the aboriginals, otherwise, according to the myth, you will be detained in in company with Willie and the rest of the souls?
You have 70โ€™ to find out!

quite difficult

Probably a great room once, but could do with some (basic) maintenance.  Quite dark too which made things a bit tricky. Shame as there are some novel puzzles and great ideas here.

A marvellous pirate themed adventure.  Lots of good puzzles (even with some head scratches that I'm still not sure how we solved).  Theming is good, clues are given in character and it feels a lot like you've just stepped into the 80's film, "The Goonies".  Very much recommended.

Cursed Willey ist der neuste und sicherlich auch beste Raum bei Sherlocked Holmes, konnte aber ehrlich gesagt meine vielleicht zu hoch gesteckten Erwartungen nicht ganz erfรผllen. Sehr gelungene Deko und auch ein paar nette Puzzles, aber fรผr mich kein Top 10-Raum in Athen.
