📖 THE STORY

Sails on the horizon! As loyal crew members of the infamous Captain Flynn, your quest is nearly at its end. After months navigating treacherous seas and chasing half-whispered legends, you’ve done the impossible—you’ve found the wreck of Old Siegfried’s ship, lost to the ocean for generations.

But this isn’t just any ghost ship. Rumor has it the legendary Treasure of Poseidon lies aboard, guarded by ancient traps and secrets of the deep.

Ready your courage, steady your hands, and prepare to plunder—before the sea claims you too.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• The game’s strongest facet is its design aesthetic, which has a strong and swashbuckling feel. From the skeleton of Captain Flynn seated at his desk in full pirate regalia, surrounded by gold, to the full-sized replica cannon and the talking pirate, we instantly felt immersed in the story. The set design is rustic and evocative of a wooden ship, complete with prop chests, barrels, and crates.

• Our talking parrot companion was cleverly integrated as the game’s method of delivering hints—a thematic touch that brought the world to life and made us smile every time we needed a nudge.

• We appreciated how interactive the game was, with some hidden tech that elevated certain puzzles in fun and unexpected ways. The cannon proved to be more than just a decorative prop, and we also got acquainted with the ship’s rat.

• The puzzle selection was diverse. In addition to searching and observation, the game included mental, skill-based, and cooperative puzzles of varying difficulty. We were both always engaged, either solving something or hunting for the next clue.

• While the game didn’t rely on big special effects, we found the ending to be charming—and even a little tasty—as Captain Flynn’s treasure may not be what you expect!
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• For the most part, this is a high-quality game. However, one large area felt noticeably underutilized and a bit empty compared to the rest of the richly themed environment. It would be great to see this space given a more active role in the experience.

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

If you're a fan of pirate-themed adventures, this room is worth setting sail for. Its difficulty level hits a sweet spot—engaging and challenging for seasoned teams while still accessible for players with a few games under their belts. We were definitely tested and thoroughly enjoyed the journey.
