There were loads of props to work through, and it was a lot of fun to work through the mysteries and derive the purpose of each part. This is definitely the easiest room at Ready Set Escape, and though we escaped quickly, it did not feel as though we did as we puzzled through a dense amount of fun enigmas and interactions. Early puzzles provide easy wins to get everything going, and the difficulty curve ramps up smoothly from there. The game flow works very non-linearly, and with six players, we all still remained engaged for the whole experience. This room is great fun even without any fancy tech. Pirate’s Plunder is a first generation escape room, using locks and keys during the entire experience, but this is not a knock against the room. It’s very obvious that they are passionate about the hobby, and that’s always a good sign. The owners of Ready Set Escape were incredibly hospitable, and we had a lot of fun trading stories with them about our escape adventures. Though it’s a pretty common theme, I do enjoy a good pirate adventure, so we were excited to storm the decks of Captain Jack’s ship. Eventually, we were able to get the scheduling stars to align, and we were ready to take on all three of their rooms. We’d been trying to make our way out to Ready Set Escape for a while, but our travels hadn’t quite gotten us there. The only problem is that it’s been locked up tight, and there’s no way to pry it open stealthily! Captain Jack is running on a skeleton crew right now, so you have some time to figure out how to get the chest open, but you’ll need to do so before he returns from shore and throws you in the brig! You’ve made your way onto Captain Jack’s pirate ship, and there looks to be a chest full of treasure waiting for your crew’s greedy hands to claim it.

Plunder the Treasure or You’ll be Plundering the Depths!
