Escape Hunt Edinburgh: Blackbeard’s Treasure

Not Escape Hunt's best game but we loved some of the more story-based puzzles and had a lot of fun.

This game had some fun puzzles but it also left us wondering what to do a lot of the time. We spent the first 15 minutes finding things but not entire sure what to do. Once in the second room we found things flowed a bit better. I would go back and play another of their games but I did feel a bit frustrated during the game sometimes when things didn't seem to be moving anywhere. That being said the physical design of the game was appealing and we did have a fun time overall 🙂 

This was the first escape room that we ever did. Whilst we did not escape and found the concept confusing as we weren't sure where to begin or what to do we enjoyed the set, as ultimately we returned to this site and completed them all. It was very story driven and family friendly. 

This is the first escape room my team and I ever played! We thourougly enjoyed it, although we didn't escape 🙁 We were new to escape rooms and this room started off our escape rooming journey. Safe to say it got us hooked on the hobby 🙂

The set was really well done and the hosting was good from the team, they use funny accents which really set the vibe for the room.

Very easy room. Arrived at the centre to be told the sound was broken - bless the host as he tried his best to fill in for the missing audio!

The room was just very plain, easy puzzles and red-herrings that just distracted you from the point of the game. Very anticlimactic ending too which left a dampener on the whole experience.

These rooms are located in a city full of experiences that are so much better then what Escape Hunt has to offer, spend your money at one of those venues instead

Probably best pirate themed room we have done. Well themed, nice mix of puzzles, and great hosting! 

I have been looking forward to playing this game for some time and enjoyed the theme and the aesthetics of the room. Although we managed to escape within the time, we found a lot of these puzzles to be quite frustrating and there were a few red herrings which we didn't appreciate. Some of the EH rooms are good but a lot of them rely on illogical puzzles and there's never a HUGE amount to do!
