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 who's 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!!

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!

Such a fun room. The sort that leaves you smiling for the rest of the day.
A wide variety of puzzles that don't follow too linear a pattern. You can split up and tackle different challenges but communication is key. Theming is immersive.

Another solid game from Escapable, however probably the weakest game they have.

It's a nice standard room with nothing too far out there, unfortunately a few bits do look a bit sad now.

A lovely puzzle-packed pirate adventure that uses the space in inventive ways and that was incredibly accessible for the whole family. It might not provide enthusiasts with too much challenge but it is a very enjoyable puzzle romp.

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
