About the escape room
Alan was always someone we could rely on, he’d be at work super early every shift, was always happy to stay late if we needed him to, and if you could look past his obsession with pirates then he seemed like a very normal guy. Unfortunately, he’s not turned up for work two days in a row and he isn’t returning our calls, and we suspect he’s responsible for a very important manual going missing. We think it’s our duty as responsible employers to do something …so we want to ask you for a favor

Overview of artificial intelligence
AIPlayers consistently praise the cinematic pirate theming, smart use of a small footprint, and a standout mid‑game transition. Difficulty skews high with lots to do and a mostly linear path, so extra teammates don’t always help. A few found parts memory‑heavy or grindy, and one long crawl split opinion. Minor reset hiccups were rare and quickly handled by staff.
WeaknessesSome sections are linear and can bottleneck, with a couple of time‑soakers and memory‑based tasks that won’t be everyone’s jam. The long crawl and an occasional tedious puzzle drew criticism from a few players. One minor resetting issue cropped up but didn’t derail the run.
StrengthsTop‑tier set design and story cohesion make the space feel bigger than it is. GMs are personable and on point, guiding without killing the win. Variety is strong, with satisfying multi‑step solves and a great world shift.
SecurityBriefings are clear and staff attentive, which helps the game run smoothly. Note the extended crawl and tighter spots; check accessibility if crawling is an issue.
Level of fearTheme is adventurous, not scary, and generally fine for teens and families. The biggest concern is the physical crawl, not horror elements.
Actors' gameGame masters like Harry, Kerry, Steve, and Stephen get repeated shout‑outs for warm hosting and well‑timed hints. They set the scene beautifully and keep the pace without oversteering.
Quality of riddlesPuzzles are varied, fair, and often multi‑stage, with strong theming and logical flow once you click with it. Expect a largely linear route with plenty to do and a few memory‑driven moments. One or two tasks feel drawn out, but the overall mix lands well.
PlotYou’re tracking down Alan, a reliable colleague gone missing along with a crucial manual, which pulls you through a portal into a pirate‑tinged past. The narrative ties into the environment, and a mid‑game transition lifts the story without spoilers.
Difficulty levelChallenging and sometimes brutal under the clock, best for confident or experienced teams. Because it’s fairly linear, extra players won’t always speed things up.
