About the escape room

The moon stands high in the sky as you secretly sneak to a long-abandoned excavation site on your journey through South America. The best researchers have been searching here for years for the golden skull of the last Mayan ruler - without success. You are in luck and the archaeologists' huts are still standing. You open one of the rickety wooden doors and enter the dark hut. You are on your own and soon you make an astonishing discovery that changes everything - the adventure begins.

Brief assessment
from Navigator AI
Indy vibes on a real ship: lovingly built, lots of movement, clever puzzles, and a properly dense atmosphere. Perfect if you want a cinematic adventure without horror.

Overview of artificial intelligence

AIEveryone raves about the set: you forget you’re on the Cap San Diego because the decor hides the ship setting so well. The puzzles are logical, often tactile, and especially fun in small teams. Experienced escapers find it rather easy; some mention repetitions compared to the provider’s other rooms. Small slip-ups were rare, like a wrong language track and a middling photo moment at the end.
WeaknessesFor pros partly too easy and with elements known from other rooms of the provider. Once the story was partly played in the wrong language; the finale photo felt unspectacular to some.
StrengthsGorgeous set design with lots of detail and a clear adventure flow. Plenty of space and surprising moments, bonus puzzles included. Friendly team and a cohesive Indiana Jones look-and-feel.
SecurityThere are crawling, climbing, and sliding sections; the builds feel solid, and a bit of agility helps. It all takes place aboard the Cap San Diego, with clearly guided routes.
Level of fearNot scary, more adventure-spooky, especially outside museum hours. Kids and families should cope fine as long as everyone can handle the physical sections.
Actors' gameNo live actors; interaction runs via the gamemaster. The team is considered very helpful; once there was an error with the German narration track.
Quality of riddlesLogical, fair, and varied, with a strong focus on manual tasks and group rituals. Bonus tasks tease the ambitious; occasionally already used parts are needed again. For frequent players there’s little truly new, but it’s cleanly implemented and smooth in flow.
PlotYou sneak into an abandoned excavation in South America at night and stumble onto the trail of the golden skull. One discovery flips everything and sets an adventurous puzzle run in motion, without going into spoilers.
Difficulty levelRather easy to medium and ideal for 2–3 people or beginners. Large or very experienced groups may breeze through but will still have fun.

The walk across the dark ship already gave us goosebumps, and inside it was pure adventure. Great setting, plenty of space, and a super attentive team — we felt like we were in a movie. Clear recommendation!

Very solid, fun room. Although it's on a ship, the jungle/Indiana Jones decor completely hides anything maritime. It was about my 20th room and nothing was entirely new, but the flow is butter-smooth—still worth recommending.

Possibly my favorite game here. A really cool experience: at its core an Indiana Jones room, and a very good one at that. Wonderfully designed and simply beautiful to look at. Go and play it!
