It is one hour to midnight in the small fishing village of Fenwick. The full moon is about to crest and a mysterious ship has sailed ashore.

Thinking it odd that a ship would be mooring so late, you head to the docks to see who might be there. Strangely, though, when you arrive you find the ship empty… not a soul aboard.

Something feels amiss and as you walk across the wooden floors, a whisper in the wind tells you a tale of a ghost pirate who plundered the Seven Seas taking riches beyond anyone’s dreams. Once a month on the Full Moon that ghost pirate comes to life and can walk among the living again.

Being a true pirate you know you must find the treasure. But be quick — you have only 60 minutes before a supernatural force comes back to claim what’s his.

What Types of Puzzles Are In This Room?

The Pirate’s Code tests non-linear puzzle-solving and team communication. Teamwork is key. The room tests a genuine mix of skills, so groups with varied strengths tend to do best:

Observation and searching – spotting hidden clues in the environment
Logic and pattern recognition – piecing together non-linear connections
Matching and sequencing – ordering clues and objects correctly
Deciphering words, symbols, and codes – cracking the pirate codes at the heart of the room
Basic math – solving numerical puzzle elements
Tactile, hands-on interaction with objects and props
Communication and teamwork – coordinating with your crew in real time

This is not simple step-by-step logic. That means groups who split up and share clues out loud tend to fare better than groups working in silence.
