WeaknessesSometimes the puzzles feel few, and the run ends too quickly for experienced players. There are occasional complaints about sound leaking through the walls and rare prop glitches. Some guests would like more deeply crafted decor and a few more challenges.
StrengthsThe show’s atmosphere is well recreated, with a sense of adventure and competition. Pirate actors are charismatic, engage you, and help in measured doses. The venue is spacious, with a maze and several rooms—convenient for birthdays.
SecurityThe briefing is clear, the staff are always in touch and attentively accompany groups, especially children. The space is well kept and safe; a separate room is provided for parties.
Level of fearOverall, the quest isn’t scary and is excellent for children; tension comes more from the atmosphere and dimness. At most—a light tickle of nerves for those afraid of the dark.
Actors' gameThe pirate actor often becomes the star of the show: joking, keeping the pace, and gently guiding without spoilers. With an actor, impressions are brighter, and kids engage from the first minute.
Quality of riddlesThe puzzles are varied, clear, and mostly fair, with an emphasis on logic and cleverness; hints are given on request. Experienced teams may find them a bit few, but for families and newcomers the balance is comfortable. There are mechanical elements and pleasing game effects like "falling coins."
PlotYou’re prisoners of a fortress and treasure hunters: you have 60 minutes to unravel the fort’s secrets and get out. The story is delivered in the spirit of the eponymous show and supported by the actor.
Difficulty levelDifficulty leans toward easy–medium, optimal for families and newcomers. Hardcore players may find the challenge lacking—they tend to finish noticeably faster than an hour.
