Escape Hunt Milton Keynes: Blackbeard’s Treasure

I was a bit disappointed and deflated by this game, either we were completely rubbish (possible!) or the puzzles were a bit illogical, or it might be because I’ve had fantastic experiences at Escape Hunt before and this didn’t live up to it. Usually getting a clue makes me feel stupid and have a ‘how did we miss that?!’ or ‘makes sense!’ moment but with this I just felt like it was one of many solutions. The room definitely needs a refresh due to wear and tear. I would have loved the games master to have helped more with when we needed a clue - it felt like having 11 minutes to spare meant we could’ve been left to figure out a little more.

I've rated this as  a three as I found that it didn't quite flow as well as some other games we've done, it felt a little disjointed especially in the first part.

There were a variety of puzzles which is always fun although I HATED the parrot by the end:)

The theming was fantastic as usual and the host was helpful. We found ourselves having to ask for more clues than we usually do as things weren't always intuitive. A fun game though, especially if you have someone with a good ear:)

We played this after a bit so great time in their Dr Who Game.

Honestly, this was the saving grace of the day. It was actually a really fun game, it was mostly pretty easy, though a couple of bits where abit of a jump in logic, and for those who have played this will know… if you’re tone deaf (which my team where) you’ll waste LOADS of time on that damn piano (though it was hilarious how bad we where at this). 

It’s themed really nicely, and was enjoyable. Great for beginners.
