Captain’s Treasure is a portable puzzle experience, lovingly hand-crafted by us. The game consists of 5 wooden crates that hide fiendishly clever challenges and built-in mechanisms, which you will discover as you play in the comfort of your own home. We won’t be there to run the game for you but we have designed a self-service hint system, so if you do get stuck there will always be help at hand.

Unlike our escape rooms, the average playtime of Captain’s Treasure is 3 to 3.5 hours. This is an activity that you’ll want to devote an afternoon or evening towards and not rush through! The story unfolds in two acts, so you can choose to take a break in the middle or simply continue with the puzzles if you’re on a roll.

Most of the components are of a large format, which means that everyone can see what is happening and we recommend playing as a team of 3-5 players. Larger teams are possible, just be aware that you’ll be working to solve puzzles together.

On completing the game you’ll find a small prize, however if you wish to hire the game for a special occasion let us know and we can also hide your present in the final crate (size permitting). Please note that, due to it’s relative complexity and long playtime, this game is not suitable for children’s parties.

We recommend playing the game in a well-lit room where you have plenty of space to move around the crates and explore their contents. As it includes many wooden and fabric props, the game should only be played in a smoke-free environment. Sizes and weights of the crates are given below for guidance:

Crate 1: 59cm(w) x 42cm(d) x 26.5cm(h), 16kg.
Crate 2: 59cm(w) x 42cm(d) x 17cm(h), 10.5kg.
Crate 3: 59cm(w) x 42cm(d) x 26.5cm(h), 14.5kg.
