📖 THE STORY

It's 1703, you and your fellow shipmates have been enlisted by Captain Van Der Decken to embark on a journey to find the cursed Flying Dutchman! As you venture off into the depths of the sea, your mission is to lift the curse by finding the contract and freeing the souls aboard that ship!

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

  • "GHOST SHIP" is one of EscapeTime's newer games at their Severna Park location. We've played so many pirate-themed escape rooms that sometimes the storyline seems a bit repetitive. This one, however, had a unique objective which provided more of a quest-type of adventure! Onboard a ship en route to find a cursed ghost ship to free the souls sounds like an epic tale that we got to feel apart of.

  • The set décor is what you would expect from a pirate ship. We enjoyed the music that went along with the theme and the deck even made creaking noises. They also did a good job with building a few clever spaces for hidden items.

  • All of the puzzle challenges in this game correlated w/ the storyline and helped navigate you to reach your goal.


🧩 MISSED THE MARK

  • Although, the setting is onboard a pirate ship under the night sky, there could've been more options for light since the majority of the game was in a dimly-lit atmosphere. Candle sticks and lanterns would've sufficed for searching and analyzing items that we've found.

  • We didn't get too much a "ghost" vibe with this game. There was a few skulls as props but perhaps a bit more sound effect could help with the eeriness.


🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

Out of the 3 games that we played from EscapeTime Escape Rooms, this was our favorite. Pirate-themed games are always fun but that's not the reason why. It's because overall, everything made sense to us and there was a consistent game flow! The storyline went with the decor and the decor went with the puzzles.
