Lakes Escapes: Dr Frankenscraft’s Monster

This was a fun room with some really cool tech at the end. We love Lake Escapes!

A fun room with some nice puzzles and one particularly cool feature that really made it for us. Hosting here is great, which makes all the difference.

Lots of fun and some very fun special effects. We fell foul to search failure a few times!

Lots of fun from start to finish.

Some nice set pieces to really tell the story. Not a scare room.  Family friendly. 

Fabulous hosts who are always happy to chat and make you feel welcome. 

A clear mission and fun steps to get there. We really liked Dr. Frankencraft's Monster - the digital version. The room was digitized on the platform telescape which make sure we can use an inventory (a crate at our feet) and combine items by using keywords. This was well digitized though it was an early version, and we did not have technical problems during the game.

This was a very family friendly room with the only creepyness being bodyparts and lightning sounds - and of course bringing a monster to life. 

We really liked the puzzles here. Weighing, connecting wires, snakes, magnets and so on were great. We did think that there was a bit of information overload with all the locks visible (a very lock-based game), a diary and a book, but with a few of those puzzles out of the way, we were happy again. We did jump the gun on a few puzzles since we could solve them without the clue given later. Since the game was multi-linear (you could say non-linear), that was easy. 

We think the game could be improved by using proximity more as sign-posting. That the code found/extracted/calculated should be used near the items that gave the code. We did have to use some time trying out the different locks. 

The theme was well executed and we loved the ending. Well done. 

Absolutely brilliant as per usual!
