visited Shipwrecked in Brooklyn with my partner, and overall, it was a pretty disappointing experience. We did the haunted escape room, which only lasted about 15 minutes — definitely not enough time for a proper escape room experience. It was so dark that we could barely see anything, and many of the clues either didn’t make sense or weren’t even relevant to the puzzle. The few clues that did matter were broken or hard to use, which made it more frustrating than fun. I’ve done multiple escape rooms before, and this one unfortunately didn’t come close in terms of quality or organization. We also tried the mini golf, which started off okay but really fell apart by the end. It’s clearly more of a kids’ activity, so it was confusing to see alcoholic drinks being served since the overall environment is very child-oriented — something that’s not made clear on the website. The arcade was another letdown, with cheap prizes and very expensive games. The one bright spot of the visit was the man in the pirate hat at the front desk. He was incredibly nice and accommodating, and honestly, he’s the only reason I gave an extra star.
