Pirates: The Original Pirate Escape Room


Your journey to the New World has been a long and tedious one thus far. Having made it across the icy Atlantic; spent what seemed an eternity waiting, listlessly for the wind to carry your ship north from Mexico; and only just escaping the wrath of a tropical cyclone in the Caribbean Sea - Florida is just the horizon, finally!


BUT, so too is something else... an ominous looking galleon... one flying the Jolly Roger! As the ship nears, a terrible look of defeat flashes across your captain's face. He knows all too well that there is no chance of outrunning this pirate ship, not the dreaded ship of Calico Jack - the fastest ship to sail the Caribbean Sea, helmed by the bloodthirstiest pirate of them all! Raising the white flag of surrender, suddenly you find yourself the captive of this dastardly pirate and his motley crew.


Now, locked away in the hull of Calico Jack's ship, all hope seems lost. That is until you remember that you're on a pirate ship loaded with treasure! Just think, if you could escape with your pockets full of gold coins, life in the New World would be sweet! 


The iconic beginning of our thrilling pirate saga! With only one hour to go until you walk the plank, will you seize the treasure and secure your freedom, or will you succumb to the perils of the high seas? The fate of the crew rests in your hands, brave adventurer. Book your adventure today, and find out why Pirate's is Australia's most beloved pirate escape room!

    No prior knowledge is necessary to enjoy the "Pirates" escape room. Pirates is the first room in our pirate escape rooms series, and is  designed to be accessible to all players.

  • If my child is under 9 years old, can they still play Pirates?

    The maximum group size that the Pirates escape room can accomodate is 8 people.


    Our group limits are set to optimise gameplay and ensure a truly immersive experience for all our guests. Fortunately for you, it is company policy to never compromise on your gameplay experience so these limits are NOT flexible!

    At Escape This, all bookings are exclusive to your group. This has always been (and will remain to be) our policy before, during and after Covid.



    If you want to be locked in a room with a group of people you have never met before (some people do!) then we recommend you try another escape room experience provider.

    You will have 60 minutes to escape Captain Calico Jack's Pirate ship.


    However we recommend that you arrive 15 minutes before your start time for orientation and induction procedures. There will also be 15 minutes after the session to catch your breath and debrief.


    Depending on if and how quickly you complete the escape room, your entire session may go for 90 minutes, or it may be shorter.

  • Is Pirates Suitable for First-Time Escapers?

    Newcomers to the world of escape rooms may find "Pirates" to be quite challenging, but fear not! It remains a highly popular choice for first-timers due to its thrilling storyline and engaging puzzles.

Got the chance to play Pirates at this location and it was a phenomenal experience! The staff are all incredibly lovely and the quality of the rooms are next to none, did it with one other person and as an experienced player it was a great, but fair, challenge.
