Room was good, Back to basics and old style of escape rooms with lots of logical puzzles and locks. Host Francisca was great and very interactive, really added to the room.

quite easy
Booked on the day and actually preferred it to pub and chip shop. Just found the puzzles worked better for us (except opening the front door) and we had a better flow. The set won't blow you away but is good and I liked the character in the room. Only real issue was that we skipped the ending by finding something too soon, feels like something that could be easily fixed and would probably have elevated the experience for us. Worth playing though if doing the other games here

Reviews by escape room review sites
Reviews of Pub and Vermillion. The former was an unusual theme with some good puzzles and cool reveals but some rough edges in a few of the puzzles. The latter while receiving good reviews from enthusiasts, didn't work well for us although, at least in part, that was related to tech failure and misfortune in our order of solving the puzzles.
