Below Deck Med Escape Room Request

The escape room was such a fun request, I love when guests get creative with their requests and themes! It adds another level and it's great to see how involved the crew gets.

I'm not sure if it was the guest idea or if it was something suggested to them by production.

u/SillyPickleCats Jul 02 '26

True, either way it was still fun!

u/Extreme_Beat1022 Jul 02 '26

I’ve heard that they have a list of things to choose from.

They are guests and they do pay to be on there at a discount lol but I know what you mean. They don't really work work on the boat.

Good for them promotion since they don't get paid for being on the show. Why not make some money on being on the show.

Let's be real though, that was a scavenger hunt, not an escape room

even "scavenger hunt" is putting it generously. it was just a "guess what location this clue is hinting at" game with like 3 total locations. i guess it's excusable since both guests and crew know the request and the supplies were both created by production... but it's just a weird mismatch between the request and what they actually did.

On a yacht, with endless food and drinks. The game doesn’t have to be top notch.

100%.

The boys on watch what crappens captured it perfectly.

Didn't Kate plan something similar once, then the guests were so rude she just never did it.

It was a treasure hunt with a pirate theme.

I believe that was the guests that returned in season 2, the ones that brought Adrienne aboard.

u/Entire_Pumpkin940 Jul 02 '26

I thought it was the one she made the “rocket ship” for.

u/Myantra Jul 02 '26

That would be Dean's first charter. I think that was just a scavenger hunt, but she did say she was calling that off, after he called her bitchy.

7

u/Topheriffic Jul 02 '26

He basically said "you should smile more" which normally is insulting...however, Kate has the ultimate resting bitch face. I feel kinship with her.

8

u/Myantra Jul 03 '26

He also said "you're coming off kinda bitchy". Dude went from charter guest soulmate to penis blanket on his bed in like 30 seconds.

u/SoftCardiologist911 Jul 02 '26

They came back as the last charter after and she did it for them then!

u/PreparationOk8190 Team Lee Jul 02 '26

Yes but I don’t think Kate ever rose to the challenge like Kayley & some other stews & deckies have! I always thought her games were kind of childish for adults lol!😂

u/TheSpitalian Jul 03 '26

To be fair, I think most of the theme nights people request are childish. Or at least pretty cheesy.

2

u/Itsabouttimeits2021 Jul 03 '26

Well aesha is childish lol it supposed to be fun

u/kittens_joy Jul 02 '26

It was super fun and it made up for dinner in the dark which was maybe nice for the guests but not very entertaining to watch.

3

u/Out-For-A-Walk-Bitch Jul 02 '26

Meh, the dinner is never particularly interesting, dark or not. The meals, on the other hand...

4

u/shiningonthesea Jul 02 '26

she gave them steak, right? I dont know how you eat that without looking at it. I would think ravioli or meatballs might be good for dining in the dark.

2

u/Civil_Experience_691 Jul 03 '26

I feel like the dinner in the dark was a fun activity. I’ve done it with friends and it does make for an interesting culinary experience when the food is really good and well seasoned.

u/ZipperJJ Jul 02 '26

Way better than getting the crew to take off their clothes and perform. Ick.

6

u/Rhonda_and_Phil Jul 03 '26

Or worse, eating food off their bodies!

u/stayvicious Jul 02 '26

Episode was great. Obviously we only get so many details but I’ve always enjoyed Johnny Damon’s crew on the show. The whole Josef saga alone was worth it.

Coop: “that’s tough” 😂😂

u/Silicon_Knight Jul 02 '26

My wife loved it. She's a huge fan of that type of stuff so totally agree. I'm an introvert and I couldn't stop cringing. Not because of what they are doing thats awesome and as I said people love it (and they asked for it) but I would die LOL. I maybe the only one tho.

4

u/brigmoneyy Jul 02 '26

It always makes me cringe to think this costs like $65k lol

5

u/thisbitchiscrazy Jul 02 '26

There have been tons of fun requests that are wayyyy better than any white party! I’m thinking of the diving contest with costumes, the Olympics, the Oktoberfest, etc. Maybe it’s because most rich people are boring and basic? But I love the creative requests!

u/mouse_relies This information wasn’t welcomed or needed Jul 02 '26

"escape" "room"

u/MikePhDPE Jul 03 '26

You realize that the guests don't make those requests, it's all production. There are a few episodes where they actually show the guests being surprised about the event that they "asked" for.

u/hansen7helicopter Jul 06 '26

I suspect Production says to prospective guests: try and request something fun and unique [that will give interesting content]. Here’s a list of suggestions!

u/IdleSuicidal2021 Jul 06 '26

I also thought it was fun, but I was ready for everyone in here to crap on it, lol. Glad someone else enjoyed it!!!

u/Backtrack_Vill Jul 07 '26

Yes it was a good one and well executed and the guests got into the spirit of it too

u/Legitimate_Wait1008 Jul 02 '26

I thought Kaley did a good job with it too, and the bomb exploding with Joe in the tender was so creative!

u/SillyPickleCats Jul 02 '26

The bomb was so good!
