📖 THE STORY

You and your friends are visiting a museum which was once a real submarine. During your exploration, you notice that the submarine begins to sink! Normally, this wouldn't be an issue except this submarine hasn't been operational for decades. However, you face an even bigger problem... Something else is lurking in the ocean! It wants to pulling the entire submarine down to the bottom! Your only chance for survival is to get inside the engine room, override the system and electrocute this "thing" before it's too late!!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • I loved the storyline! As a kid growing up in New York City, I've been on many school trips to The Intrepid. I've always wondered what would happen if it started to sink and we had to find a way out! "The Submarine Ship" is one of those escape games that I get to vicariously put myself in that situation.

  • The room was quite spacious and the dim lighting and wallpaper created that enclosed feel of actually being inside a submarine.


🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • Although the set design did resemble a cold interior of a submarine, the atmosphere was too quiet. There's no music or change in the light settings that would have went along with the urgent situation of the storyline. We were supposed to feel like we're being pulled into the ocean by a giant octopus but sadly the room did not portray the storyline.

  • There was a lot of logic leaps that we had to take with the puzzles. Some felt like we just had to randomly spot answers and knew where to place them.

  • There was a puzzle where we didn't feel had any relevance to the storyline and there was no clue on how we was supposed to interactive with it. Even with the clues, we had to have the game master come inside the room to explain it to us.

  • Certain placements of props was not clear in terms of the ordering. This made us have to guess by using trial and error.


🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

"The Submarine Ship" had a unique storyline paired with a fairly well established set design but the puzzles unfortunately were all over the place. With some added lighting and sound effects and adjustments to the logic behind the puzzles, this could be a really fun game. There was a good amount of puzzles to solve so we suggest bringing a group of 4 or more. The trick to this game is to not over think and when desperate, "trial and error" might be your best option. And if you have extra time after the game, check out their enormous "Bury The Hatchet" site!
