puzzles that are really fun to interact with. I’m excited to see how they’re

Review
Recently, the team at
Escape Room Artist released their analysis of the room. We absolutely love their
analysis of the game! ✍️
“Curse on the Emerald Seas was a challenging escape room with some complex, layered puzzles. These were well-clued, and especially satisfying solves with multiple “aha” moments.”
A less recent, but
still fantastic review of this room by Escape Room Addicts: 📝
“Everything in the room was of high quality and very sturdily built, including props and puzzles, as well as structural elements like floor boards, tables and poles. We especially loved the use of heavy chains and shackle locks, which felt highly relevant and on-theme for the room.”
