More about Cortez's Hold

1664 England, the “Queen Stone” has disappeared, jewel of the British crown. It would seem that the legendary pirate “Cortez” stole it during a stopover on the continent.
You, as spies of the India Company, are in charge of finding and recovering this stone! We had a clue about the location of this one! It would be on his ship, “El Carnelon” and more precisely in his hold among all his treasures. Your mission: you have just been hired on the ship of “Cortez” and have created a mutiny. You are then caught in the hold of the boat. You only have one hour to find the gems and escape before it throws you overboard to feed the sharks! But beware, “Cortez” is someone ingenious and machiavellian, he could quickly spot you! Good luck moussaillons!

The total score of a review doesn't have to be the average of your subscores. Sometimes a room feels like it should deserve a higher (or lower) rating than the exact sum of its parts.

Escape een piraten schip

Het zijn mooi aangeklede kamers. De puzzels zijn goed in lijn met het verhaal. Ook de manier waarop je hints krijgt/kan vragen past binnen het thema.
We hebben ons met deze kamer prima vermaakt, maar verwacht geen super vernuftige technieken.

Coco wants a cracker

#127 Leuke piratenontsnapper, waarbij je uit de kajuit van piratenkapitein Cortez moet ontsnappen en een Brits kroonjuweel moet terugroven. Daarvoor moet je allerlei nautisch geïnspireerde puzzels oplossen om zowel klassieke hang-/cijfer-/lettersloten te openen als magneetsloten bij het juist uitvoeren van een handeling. De brutale papegaai Coco houdt een oogje in het zeil en begeleidt je daarbij als hulp annex stoorzender :-).
We hebben de kamer in het Frans gespeeld (Engels kan ook, Nederlands is niet mogelijk) en weten dus niet hoe grappig of ad rem Coco in het Engels uit de hoek kan komen.

Avontuur en humor

Het onthaal in deze kamer is in het Frans of in het Engels, zoals meestal het geval is in Brussel. Wel vriendelijk. De game master heeft er duidelijk zin in. Dat hadden we ook al toen we eerder Hantises hier speelden. Door dit vlotte onthaal kregen wij ook een energieboost. Dat is altijd positief!

Qua aankleding is de kamer heel mooi. Je voelt je echt in een piratensetting. Netjes! Het hintsysteem draagt goed bij tot de ervaring: een gevatte papegaai die af en toe een praatje met je slaat. Dat zorgde wel voor de nodige ambiance.

De puzzels zijn klassieke puzzels zoals je ze in een piratenkamer kunt verwachten: sleutels, sloten en hier en daar ook wat techniek. Er was voldoende afwisseling dus zeker de moeite om eens te spelen.

Een correcte kamer. Geen gigantische hoogvlieger maar als je toch in Brussel bent, zou ik hem niet links laten liggen.
