A decent room. Started strong, but puzzles became a little illogical towards the end. Just OK

The room has been designed specifically to sail on the Shakespeare's "brand", so to say. So, it feels a little contrived as it is basically an excuse to attach the label Shakespeare to a local escape room. 

That being said, the game was pleasant enough, and while there were some moments of uncertainty (as the narrative and puzzle flow were not intuitive at times), our game master was quick to react. We had a lovely game master who cheered up us when we exited and said what she liked about our team (which I find so much better and more engaging than the usual approach of asking what I liked about the room when I've had zero time to actually think about it)
