Houdini’s Escape Room Experience Manchester: Captain Blackheart’s Curse

*SQUAWK*

I got a Groupon for the pirate-themed room, bringing down the price by a fair bit.

Story

Escape the brig and break the curse- with the help of a cannon.

Puzzles

Thematically sound and engaging…just lacking! This room was definitely two or three puzzles short (hence the clock still having about half the time left after we escaped).

Mise en scene

Big ticks for the convincing ship-like setting: the oaky wood-covered spaces were filled to the brim with barrels, swords, maps, skeletons and more.

Final Comments

Our host put plenty of comedy into the hint-giving parrot: this really added to the fun.
