Escape game Tales of the Ghostly Galleon

Reviews of escape game "Tales of the Ghostly Galleon"

• This was my first time at an escape room. It was an amazing experience! I felt the challenge was just right for eight of us and combined some individual "sleuthing" along with teamwork. There were enough activities that we could spread out and not be on top of each other. The challenges were at an appropriate level to require focus and concentration without being impossible. We really enjoyed it!

• The ghostly galleon room was so fun! Creative puzzles, really well decorated, and the staff were great with the hints There was 3 of us— I feel like more than 5 people in this room would be too crowded and you would miss puzzles

• My daughter and her five friends did the "Tales of the Ghostly Galleon" and loved it. The puzzles were great and the props were well done and captured the theme well. We'd definitely recommend it.

• - cute and fun room with pretty simple puzzles which makes it great for newbies
  
  - I love how compact and transportable it is! There was a sense of rhyme and reason in this one compared to Mad Pharaoh which made it much smoother.
  
  - please fix some of the locks/keys/clues, minor issues but it could have been perfect otherwise.
  
  - the story was really fun and I enjoyed the mechanics of all of the puzzles.
  
  - a little more table space might be helpful as well to sort through all the items

• We had a great Friday afternoon at Hourglass Escapes where we spent an hour in the Ghastly Galleon puzzle room. Our host or Ensign, I forgot his name but he was a young man with glasses, flamboyant and enthusiastic about getting us prepared. This was everybody's first time doing an escape room.
  
  The atmosphere of the room was set up nicely. Ambiance was dim but not completely dark, enough for those with bad vision, like myself, to still find clues in the room. Our host was helpful in that he threw a random hint (not an answer) if we were close to solving a specific puzzle.
  
  Overall we had a great time. We did this as a work/team building exercise so we really got to see how different folks functioned during a time of distress. We were a little slow at first as we didn't have roles and were just all over the place. As time progressed we clearly saw who had specific traits solving different things. Some we naturally good at deciphering and analyzing words, notes, and diaries while others were good at figuring out numbers, reading maps, and de-coding all the locks.
  
  Glad we worked together and found out who that ghostly banshee was!
