Horton’s Emporium Nottingham: Pirates Adventure Room

Nice game.  For experienced gamers relatively simple

Full of really great old school puzzles and number/letter padlocks which I loved. Beats a lot of the high tech ones nowadays. Really enjoyable room where had to work out a lot of puzzles. Really nice set and props. 

Did this room with two first-timers, including one who was a bit concerned about potential claustrophobia. It’s very suitable for beginners, and also anyone who is nervous about escape rooms- it’s brightly lit, feels quite open, and is completely unscary (though there is a skeleton).

The plot and theming are fairly cursory, but there are plenty of good puzzles to keep even enthusiasts busy (including a tough maths puzzle I couldn’t do at all). We escaped with a few seconds to spare!

Not a ‘must-do’ room but good fun and worth a visit if you’re in town.
