📖 THE STORY

Captain Ravensbeard, the pirate leader, has been deceiving you and the crew by not giving you your fair share of loot! That dishonest scoundrel has now locked himself in his quarters. You and your fellow sailors need to find a way to enter and take back what rightfully belongs to you, and make sure that sneaky pirate ends up in the depths of the sea. If you are clever enough, you might even take control of the entire ship. All crew members, get ready!

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

The allure of a pirate ship theme in the realm of escape rooms has endured as a perennial favorite, captivating the imaginations of both children and adults alike. The mere concept of finding oneself aboard a meticulously crafted vessel within the confines of a room is enough to transport participants to a realm far removed from the mundane realities of everyday life.


Players are fully immersed in a mysterious and adventurous atmosphere through the intricate elements of a pirate ship setting. As they navigate through the challenges and puzzles set before them, participants are not merely solving riddles; they are embarking on a thrilling voyage filled with hidden treasures, daring escapades, and the promise of discovery lurking around every corner.
