Last weekend thanks to Co-Decode we were able to transform our living room into a pirate's lair. Five intricately designed and utterly unique wooden chests provided both backdrop and a succession of ingenious puzzles that used every available cubic inch. Authentic throughout from the iconic emblem of the East India Trading Company to the tropical parrots. Everything tied together by the Captain's menancing script and an unobtrusive layered online hint system that provided as little or as much help as was required. Two acts, each about 1 1/2 hours, went far too quickly, and the treasure was a delightful touch much appreciated by daughter (13) and son (11). Once finished, you simply have to start again - admiring the construction and the depth of the escalating puzzles. Sadly the next morning came too quickly, and it was a wrench to hand back the chests to Alex - tempered by the thought that others would get the chance to experience the pirate's lair for themselves and transform their living rooms.
