Pirates will have a difficulty rating of 6 out of 10.  A nice entry point for first time players, but still challenging for experienced escapers.

Pirates is not too hard, not too easy. Numbers, patterns, places for things to go... everything you need is usually right in front of you, you just need to put it all together. Read more about our difficulty levels here.

Absolutely! Pirates is very popular with childrens groups who love the immersive feel of finding themselves aboard a pirateship. And whilst it is a very popular room with children, adults love it too! So it's a great choice for a family outing.

A few rules though:

1. We welcome children from age 7 to play as paid participants in a family group, though do recommend 9+ years is more suitable for maximum room engagement and enjoyment.
2. Groups with children aged 9 and under require a parent or guardian be in the room as a paid participant.
3. If the group contains children aged 10-13 years, then an adult must remain onsite for the duration of the booking but does not need to accompany the group into the room.
4. If the whole group is 14 and older no adult needs to remain on site.
5. Children under 3 years old may accompany their parents as spectators in the room, at our discretion, without charge, though they do always count towards the room’s player capacity.

The easiest way to book Pirates is through our online booking widget. 

Our website shows live availability and all bookings are confirmed immediately. It's the quickest and best way to secure your desired time slot.

At Escape This, all bookings are exclusive to your group. This has always been (and will remain to be) our policy before, during and after Covid.

If you want to be locked in a room with a group of people you have never met before (some people do!) then we recommend you try another escape room experience provider.

You certainly can! If you have ever considered dressing up for your escape room experience we encourage you to do so. 

Come as Captain Hook, Sinbad, Jack Sparrow, or even a Pirate wench. Remember, bonus points if your group can speak in a pirate voice from start to finish!

You'll have one hour from getting locked up to escape Calico Jack's ship. 

We recommend you arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled start time and if you allow for 15 minutes afterwards, to catch your breath and debrief, your whole experience will last up to 90 minutes. 

You may be one of the lucky ones to escape earlier, in which case your time with us may be shorter.

The maximum group size that the Pirates escape room can accomodate is 8 people.

Our group limits are set to optimise gameplay and ensure a truly immersive experience for all our guests. Fortunately for you, it is company policy to never compromise on your gameplay experience so these limits are NOT flexible! 

If your group is larger than 8 players we suggest that you book multiple rooms to start at the same time and split your group across the rooms. Thus ensuring the very best experience for everyone in your group.

First time escapers will find Pirates quite challenging but it remains a very popular choice for first timers. 

So yes it's a great choice and our gamesmasters will be on hand to offer any extra clues if you need them.

Spoken cues and clues are a key element of our escape rooms. Presently, these cues are only available in English, though we are working towards multi-language options. To ensure the best escape experience in the meantime, we recommend that the majority of your player group should be fluent in English.

Yes! Pirates is a wheelchair accessible escape room, and a popular one at that with our wheelchair and limited mobility patrons. 

Please note a limited number of puzzles may be more challenging or difficult to access from a wheelchair, but as escape rooms are a team game requiring a mix of skills and abilities from team members, this should not affect your enjoyment of our rooms. 

Please note, Pirates is equipped to accommodate no more than one wheelchair per session.

Like all escape rooms, Pirates is a controlled lighting environment. It may feature periods of complete darkness and/or flashing lights. Similarly, you might experience confined spaces and/or jump scares during your escape. If you have any concerns or questions, please raise these with our Gamesmasters at check-in.
