The Lockup: Mutiny

Absolutely fantastic! Quite low tech and lots of padlocks but that kinda makes sense in a room set on a pirate ship. The owner has clearly put a lot of thought into the theming, we had a conversation and he spoke about dipping even the nuts and bolts of the room in acid in order to make the place look like a dingy vessel! Commitment to immersion.

I'm taking off half a star for having a super difficult puzzle be the first one in the room, which meant we felt a bit deflated once we completed it, but then the pacing improved and we were solving puzzles left and right, the host told us that he thought we weren't going to need the clue he gives to most groups before he closes the door, so, maybe this isn't a problem with most groups.

Everything was properly communicated and (apart from the aforementioned opener), it was quite clear what was the next thing to do next, and how to approach the solution and actually FIGURING stuff out! *chef's kiss*
