illogicalbroken techpoor hosting
No logic in place throughout the game. One part we started finding these random symbols around the room. Tried to get the GM's attention, in the end they came into the room shrugged there shoulders went "What?" I explained I did not know what these symbols meant to be told they were from a previous game before this one... and our time was up. RFID chips didn't work props were broken.

poor hostingoverpriced

Up to now this is the worst escape room we have played.

The hosting was appalling, they clearly didn’t care. Broken puzzles, which the host told us was broke for a while.

We had planned to play some other games, but based on this, decided against it.

Worth travelling to specifically play this game: No.

family friendlyoverpricedvery easy

Very simplistic puzzles, nothing to trick you, fairly linear.. very easy, team of 2 out in 23minutes, results in lack of value for money at £26pp.. 

Overall not a bad game, just not suited If you have any experience.. ideal for families

story-drivenpoor hostingleft locks open

Great concept and storyline, however the game ended early for us due to one of the locks being left unlocked from the last session. We did make the GM aware at the end, however she shrugged and said "that's unfortunate'.  I also emailed the company after we had left the complain that our experience was cut short/ruined. We never received a reply. Very disappointing.

Outcome: Successful escape!

Just seemed so thrown together, could solve one puzzle early by cycling the last digit. Pretty pointless having a 4 digit lock but giving 3 numbers early on. This was the operation slimeworth before the room was moved though so may be upgraded
