cleverimmersivegreat hostingquite difficult
We have done a few pirate themed games but this one felt different. Lots of padlocks and some were quite time-consuming to solve due to the codes not necessarily being obvious which was the correct order. Great themeing though and we had a lot of fun playing this. Despite playing 70-90 games over the years, this was still a challenge for 2 people but I'm glad we took it on and I was impressed with our result. Even though we didn't collect as much as we could (tokens and treasure) we still completed the game with seconds to spare and I always love a mad adrenaline rush at the end! There was a lot of puzzles but a good mix of ones that we got pretty quick and ones that took a bit more head scratching! Great hosting from Natalia who was ready to help us with a hint when we got slightly stuck or off track and it was lovely to chat to her about other game experiences we have had too.
A nice ship theme room, some original puzzles in there and some nice surprises along the way. A slightly unusual format with a kind of puzzle dump thing with a mad rush at the end.

great hostingfamily friendly
As a group of 6 (4 adults and 2 tweens) we really enjoyed the theming of this room. Puzzles all made sense and kept us busy. Designed to be able to take larger groups with a fun bit of energy needed at the very end.
We were lucky enough to test this game which is yet again another great game from cluetopia. Filled with satisfying puzzles, padlocks, technology and surprises. Always made to feel very welcome by the great staff here. Must play game
