Mark as done to rate

Pirates rule the shimmering waters of the Caribbean, and you and your scrappy crew are some of the best of the best. You'll sail anywhere; no ghost story or old legend is enough to scare you away from a chance at glory and gold. Your endless search for treasure has brought you to Dead Man's Cove, a place that many pirates claim lies between the worlds of the living and the dead. You've heard that an ethereal enemy lurks its murky waters, but there's no reward without a little risk...

Very fun pirate room, wish I had more time to do some of the others. Guess I'll just have to come back. Little bit of search and find kept us from really getting started, but after that we crushed it.

So immersive and the theatrics were so unique! Best room at escape hour Austin by far!!! Puzzles were logical and the flow was obvious and effortless. Very pirate-y! Enough wow moments, tech and immersion to deserve the "loved"

This game had a very linear feel which led us to do one thing at a time. For a pirate game it was ok. Pirate games are hard to build out. There is a novel and unique idea inside the room which was fun but lost its novelty at the end when it didn’t work correctly. The GM didn’t keep track of us and was speaking up when we were struggling which was okay I guess but she was speaking up and telling us to do something we had already completed until she realized it. Other than that it was a fun game for a pirate game.

Gameplay

I don’t like pirate games because they are mainly all the same. This one was along those lines. It was fun with a unique element but it lost its novelty towards the end.

Very solid room, but it does feel slightly dated. The projector in the room desperately needs to be updated though because the quality was something from the last century. Aside from the visuals, I don't really have any complaints though I wouldn't say that it super impressed either. All the puzzles were good. Absolutely loved the gamemaster/hint system. The parrot was just so much fun.

GPS will get you to the right area, but the signage is just the single door to the building.

It’s in the back of a commercial park and GPS gets you in the general area but no signage except on the door.

  • The flow of the room was great ... This is by far one of our favorite pirate rooms so far.
