60 minutes
Step onto a pirate galleon in the middle of a battle for control of the High Seas. Your captain, the terrifying Blackbeard, has just been killed and his ship is shot to pieces and sinking fast.
With no chance of victory, you and your scurvy shipmates decide to jump ship – after helping yourself to the contents of Blackbeard’s legendary treasure chest.
You’ve broken into his cabin to grab all you can, but now the door has jammed shut and you’ve just 60 minutes to escape; any longer and you’ll drown – if the sharks don’t get you first.

Very easy room. Arrived at the centre to be told the sound was broken - bless the host as he tried his best to fill in for the missing audio!
The room was just very plain, easy puzzles and red-herrings that just distracted you from the point of the game. Very anticlimactic ending too which left a dampener on the whole experience.
These rooms are located in a city full of experiences that are so much better then what Escape Hunt has to offer, spend your money at one of those venues instead
Probably best pirate themed room we have done. Well themed, nice mix of puzzles, and great hosting!
I have been looking forward to playing this game for some time and enjoyed the theme and the aesthetics of the room. Although we managed to escape within the time, we found a lot of these puzzles to be quite frustrating and there were a few red herrings which we didn't appreciate. Some of the EH rooms are good but a lot of them rely on illogical puzzles and there's never a HUGE amount to do!

The game themes that Escape Hunt have been rolling out sound a little like costume ideas for a children's party: cowboys, vikings, Doctor Who, pirates. Since this is an industry that deals in escapism, that's all to the good, and we eagerly signed up for their Blackbeard game.
Your job is to sneak into the cabin of the recently deceased Captain Blackbeard and swipe his loot before the ship sinks; our gamemaster played the role of our confederate on the outside with gusto. Pirate themes always s...
Our least favourite game that we have played at Escape Hunt. The puzzles could have been really good but their execution was somewhat lacking. An enjoyable game overall however
