It's the year 1663 and you find yourself on a desert island, when in the distance you see what looks like a washed up old crate... upon further inspection, it appears to be a pirate chest! But whos is it? What's in it? Is there treasure????
Only one way to find out.....
It doesn't seem very easy and straightforward, almost like they didn't want you to get in there! But you must persist and get to the bottom of this mystery box, who knows what you will find... happy treasure hunting!!

This can be the first paragraph of your review, or a short summary, or left blank, as you prefer. Anything longer than a couple of lines may get truncated.
I’ve played a few remote “Box” games, this is where focus of the game is a single box, often with multiple locks and compartments. This is one of the better ones, some clever puzzles and ideas that were cleverly implemented. Audio and Video were stable and all handled by Zoom. The theming is pirates which is a winner for me and all the puzzles were in keeping. It’s always great to be surprised by clever games, and this did several times.
A fun and enjoyable game to play. Not the most challenging puzzles we’ve seen in an escape room but definitely enough variety to get the brain working. Don’t make the same mistake we did of putting a box down somewhere and forgetting it needed unlocking though!
Our time in Avast was short, but enjoyable. This is probably the easiest of the games at Escapable but that would make it good for beginners. Even then, I think enthusiasts would still have a good time.
Avast! is quite a kid-friendly room overall – no bloodcurdling pirate torture or cursed nautical peril. There were plenty of things Jack-Jack could help with and lots of nice props to interact with
