Overall Thoughts
As always with Pirate Escape the staff are incredibly friendly and helpful throughout your time at the venue. The pirate theming of the site runs throughout the entire building and the quality of sets is no different when you enter the room.
The second you climb aboard the ship you're thrown into a well themed pirate pantry. The puzzles in this game are a solid mix of types keeping all puzzle personalities happy. One of the elements I really enjoyed about this room is just how much teamwork and communication you needed for the puzzles, sometimes physical teamwork and other times the passing of information from one puzzle to another. The reveals of some of the codes within the game are incredibly creative and unique.
The only issue we had in the room was a puzzle with sensors did not register our correct input for a few minutes and needed a couple of wiggles to work, but this did not take away from the experience.
Another solid room from the Pirate Escape team!
