Disappointing room, a couple of puzzles hadn't been reset properly, some had to be over ridden by the game master and some just didn't make any sense or flow at all.
One of the worst we have done as a team. Some puzzles were physically broken and thr majority of the puzzles were not intuitive or mechanical They were activated by the gamesmaster from a separate room. This means you don't get thr satisfying clunk of locks opening or magnets uncoupling. It made the whole experience feel like we were performing rather than solving puzzles.
The whole experience felt like it was made to cash in on the escape room buzz rather than embracing what is so fun about them.

Picking a game for the afternoon slot at Escape Hunt's Oxford branch was a choice between pirates and cowboys, and we chose the latter. Wild West casts you as lucky but imperilled miners: having discovered a rich seam of gold in a remote and dusty frontier town (incongruously but conveniently already formed into bars), you now need to make a quick exit by train before the local gangsters arrive to take it all from you.
That premise is used for an unusual scoring system. You need to find as many...
Escape Hunt, Oxford impressed us with one of our favourite games to date. Since playing ‘Escape the Wild West’ we’ve been and played all the other rooms at Escape Hunt, Oxford
