What is the Captain’s Quest Escape Room on Norwegian Encore’s Galaxy Pavilion like?
The Escape room is in two parts. One part VR and one part a functional escape room with real padlocks and puzzles to solve.
Hop in to a VR Diving Pod and Dive to the Ocean Floor
In the the Escape room in the Galaxy Pavilion, you step into a diving pod and dive to the ocean floor down to a mysterious ancient shipwreck. When the diving pod suddenly crashes into the ship you must find clues and use your wits to escape before the oxygen runs out in 45 minutes. The first part of this game is the VR where you wear a head set to get an idea of the game.
Enter the Ship Wreck and try to Escape!
Then you are taken into an escape room where you have to find clues and move objects around the room. This part is not VR but so much fun. You are in an old ship wreck that you have to get to the surface and save all the treasure. There are various puzzle to solve and find all around the room. We did however find a few bits not working correctly so we needed the help of one of the crew.
Is the Escape Room Worth it?
The whole escape room costs $15 dollars and lasts approximately 45 minutes. However we did it in 30 minutes. It was fun and we did enjoy it but due to parts not working we felt that we could not fully enjoy the experience thus paying $30 dollars is a bit too much in our opinion. The VR part was just a small part of the experience as well and not interactive.
