Eight people is a reasonable amount of players for escape rooms. Everyone will find something to do: strategizing, taking charge, searching for clues, solving puzzles, cheering the team on, counting down the minutes, wandering from room to room or chatting up the game master. Book one of the rooms in Seattle and find out what will your contribution be!
Latesr reviews of escape rooms in Seattle for up to eight players
Very cool escape rooms. Well organized too

The good:
- The puzzles were thematic and mostly involved fixing pieces of the submarine, which fit the story
- The rooms were nicely decorated and the individual components showed attention to detail (the map especially was well-painted)
- Another member of my group said he liked the physicality of many of the puzzles
The bad:
- Way, way too linear. 70% of our experience was watching one person solve a puzzle, 20% was 2 people solving a puzzle while the other 2 watched
- They made a strange choice in that the submarine components were present but deactivated, so spinning gears or flipping dials or whatever didn't do anything until another puzzle was completed. It would have been easy to make the room a little less linear by enabling 2 of the machines at once. Also, providing a narrative flow of "this machine enables this other machine" would have helped connect the puzzles - we occasionally couldn't tell that completing a puzzle enabled a different one, as there was no in-game reason for them to be connected

Visited today with a group of friends. This was the second time we have done an escape room with Hourglass escapes. I’ve done several escape rooms in Seattle and Hourglass definitely has the best! The props and design quality are top notch! Even if you’re not able to solve, you’ll definitely have a good time.

I attended Hourglass Escapes for a team-building event for work and my team tried the "Tales of the Ghostly Galleon" room. This was my first time trying an escape room. The sets and props made the whole atmosphere and experience really immersive. We all had a really great time solving the mystery from the very beginning intro video to the conclusion of the day. I highly recommend trying this out and I intend on returning at some point to try out "Rise of the Mad Pharoah."

We had a group of 8 people, all young adults go through the Ghostly Galleon. It was a fun challenge. I was a great time, I would recommend it for any group looking to have fun and challenge themselves!

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.
