Captain's Cabin

Captain's Cabin: an escape room for parents and kids together

Captain's Cabin is an escape room in Riga built around a long-lost sea captain and his cursed cabin. Players can be as young as 6, and children aged 6 to 12 play under adult supervision. That shapes who the room works best for: the grown-ups are not waiting outside, they are part of the crew.

• Parents with children from age 6. One or two adults and the kids form a single team, up to five people.
• Kids' birthday parties. A sea legend and a missing captain make a ready-made story for the day.
• Grandparents, godparents, aunts and uncles. An hour with a child where you both work on the same problem.
• Adult groups. The riddles in the captain's belongings and the legend of the curse work for friends without children too.

If you are building a party around the game, read the guide on how to plan a children's birthday in Riga.

Inside the old sea wolf's cabin

The legend goes that the captain vanished without a trace many years ago and left a lot of unanswered questions behind. Rumour has it that nobody has ever got out of his cabin. At first it looks like an ordinary room. Then you realise it is cursed, and that something is hidden inside.

The riddles are in the captain's belongings, and your job is to solve them to escape. In a family team a simple split helps: someone searches the belongings, someone reports what they found, someone puts the pieces together. The child gets a real role, and the adult keeps the thread of the story.

• Duration: 60 minutes.
• Players: 2 to 5.
• Age: 6 and up; children aged 6 to 12 play under adult supervision.
• Difficulty: medium.

Medium difficulty means the hour is spent working, not waiting. Tell your child the legend at home before the game, so they walk in already asking the right question: where did the captain go?

Jeruzalemes iela 2/4: three escape games at one address

Captain's Cabin is at Jeruzalemes iela 2/4 - 18, Riga. Two other rooms are next door:

• Time Machine: a laboratory where you have to set the time coordinates, also from age 6.
• The Experiment: the lab of a missing scientist, for adults and teens aged 16 and up.

All three rooms together take up to 15 players at the same time. If ten children are coming to a party, you can split them into two teams: one in the captain's cabin, the other in Time Machine. For larger events and work groups, see the corporate events page. Book three or more rooms at once and you get an individual offer.
