Some great puzzles and the room look good - Hosting wasn't great though which was a shame.
Whilst we enjoyed this game and it had lovely hosts there was 1 puzzle which we struggled with and found to be a little illogical. We successfully escaped and I do recommend the room but I think their other rooms are better.
after After playing operation moonshine, we were really looking forward to this game. I'll be honest I wasn't really thrown by the theme but we really love the company.
We enjoyed most of the game except unfortunately there was one puzzle which just completely seemed diabolical, and it felt we lost lots of time because our hosting wasn't great on this puzzle.

A solid room, not too difficult and fun puzzles. Decoration wasn’t as strong as Operation Moonshine but fun nonetheless.
Jam packed with puzzles, this kept us busy from start to finish. I think we JUST managed to escape in time.
This company never fails to impress.
A superb room - the puzzles just flowed so well and the game felt really instinctive. The theme was sustained throughout and the tech was flawless. It felt very inventive and designed by people who really love escape rooms. So much fun and a great challenge - would highly recommend this one!
These guys in Halifax are one of the very best! They really do look after you well and get to know you. The theme of this room is so brilliant and the difficulty is tough! So much to do but it really flows well. Excellent all round 🙂
Reviews by escape room review sites
I did wonder what ‘Crux Codicillus’ means, but I’m not convinced that Google Translate is entirely accurate with its attempt of “cross booklet”. Or maybe it is - this game casts you as junior members of world-controlling conspiracy The Illuminati, but it’s clear from the intro video onwards that it doesn’t take itself too seriously.
Crux uses a mostly linear structure, so style of game play is closer to Haligonian than to Operation Moonshine; it’s a little longer though, with the time limit set...
