Was meeting a friend for a catch-up drink, and as escape room enthusiasts, thought we'd try something different.
Sip & Solve is a new puzzle bar attached to Other World Escapes' main venue in Portsmouth. It offers much more of a casual experience than 'normal' escape rooms, with puzzle pods placed throughout the bar space. You can play the 20min puzzle pods, and grab drinks from the bar - quite flexible and chilled out.
We liked the mini series of puzzles, and the range of physical and mental tasks to work through - and theme is implemented well here. We were a team of two relatively experienced escapers (50+ games each) and completed fairly quickly in about 8 minutes. This pod has a relatively small puzzle space in the 'cabin' so would suggest it's suitable for about 2 people to be able to fully engage with what's going on.
We enjoyed a drink afterwards - I can recommend the associated Western-themed whisky cocktail from Jack the barman! - and did another puzzle pod after as we'd enjoyed the first challenge. I'd say this is a fab place to scratch your puzzling itch, while enjoying a tipple with mates.
