I went last night for the Escape The Ghost Ship. I went with four friends, and they joined another group of two with us. They were great and we had a lot of fun.

We were out on the water for an hour. A short theatrical segment to explain the story of what we're doing, then to the puzzles! We had two teams on board, racing to see who could figure out the puzzles first.

I have done one other escape room, but have played a lot of puzzle games and escape room type simulators. These puzzles were really well done, we knew what we needed to do to figure them out without assistance, but they were still challenging enough that it took us time (and paper for notes). I was impressed by the number of different puzzles put into this production, and how each of them are a different type of puzzle for great variety.

We finished literally as the countdown timer was counting down, but the other team on the boat finished well before us. It was just the right amount of challenge for me, without the sense of being unsolvable.

The scenery around the lake is gorgeous as always, though I didn't spend as much time looking off the boat as I did paying attention to the game.

Great set of puzzles, fun characters to interact with and a harbor/Island tour! What a package! Did it at sunset and had quite the beautiful sail, just barely finishing the quest with seconds to spare.

First off, what an extraordinary experience! My partner and I have tackled over a hundred escape rooms, but none come close to this one. We played this game at night, so we couldn't see the water and surroundings, which I imagine would be even more impressive in daylight. The immersion with the characters on board is incredible! Since it was just the two of us, we ran out of time to complete all the puzzles. I would say the difficulty level is quite high. This is definitely a must-try at least once in your lifetime!

Fabulous experience, definitely recommended!! The game is built for 3 teams of six people so gather your friends.
I went with two others so we were teamed up with another group of three. It was really immersive and fun to work together. The puzzles were challenging but fun. The boat felt safe and it was such a cool way to spend an evening!

Captain Kelly is terrific! We had the entire boat with our small group of 5 -- can't comment on the experience when there are 2 or 3 groups.

It's true that it is not a traditional escape room as each puzzle is mostly independent of the others. The benefit of this is that there is no bottleneck and if you are stuck on a puzzle you can try to help your friend with something else.

We found all of the puzzles challenging but fair, and quite rewarding to figure out.

The vibes are amazing for the 2130 show because it is dark, but definitely dress for the weather!

The entire group (with extensive escape room experience) agreed that this was the most unique and best one we've done in the GTA.

Very fun! We went during sunset and it was great. Go with 4+ people for best results though! Great team working. Thanks!

If you enjoy a healthy challenge, good fun, and a nice dose of the pirate life this is the escape room for you. I can’t speak enough to the professional way they treat you. The bar is a lovely addition to an already wonderful time.
