  • ⭐️ 8.5/10
  • 🌡 Medium
  • ⏳ 90 Minutes
  • 👥 2 – 5 Person

With good intentions, we looked for a traditional Serbian restaurant near Crowbar Escape before our last game of the day startet and we found it: We had pizza and risotto for dinner. Strengthened, we finally set off with great anticipation, because all the escape room providers we had visited so far said that Pirates of Crowbar is the best room in Belgrade and they were right.

The provider is located in an inconspicuous neighborhood in the outskirts on the other side of the river Save.

We were warmly welcomed by the game master in the basement of an apartment block and we could suddenly start playing straight away. We were escorted into a long hallway and locked in. At the end of the corridor we could look through the bars of the door into a pirate chamber and had to think creatively about how we could gain access to the keys and get into the chamber. After solving the puzzles, the path led us to the secret cabin of the infamous pirate, where we were supposed to find the legendary treasure using fragments of a antique map.

The room particularly surprised us with its high density of puzzles. We had to complete many different tasks, search thoroughly and combine them cleverly. Thanks to the logical structure and the easy to challenging different tasks of puzzles, the flow of the game remained at a consistently high and exciting level. There was definitely no boredom in this immersive escape room. Pirates shouldn’t be missed the next time you visit Belgrade and you can be excited for the second room creation, which should be playable from 2024.

It all started in 2017 when I was looking for an alternative program for Florence for my graduating class: In addition to the many cultural visits, the teenagers also wanted to experience something action-packed and adventurous and that's how I came across Fox in a box. The description on the internet sounded really cool and so I booked a few slots for my class. One of my students was afraid to play, so I jumped in and enjoyed game. The only stupid thing was that my inner circle of friends couldn't be won over by this passion - but my godchild's wife was. She was already connected to the scene via social media and immediately she received a request from Heiner to take us part in an escape tournament. So the story started and right noe I celebrated my 500th Escake.
