Player reviews
It looked like a cab office. Rooms weren't great and the host was rude.
50s Blues (Prints)
In the spirit of being super-savvy, I got a Groupon voucher that let a team of two play for just over £10 each.
Story
Nip back to the 1950s, retrieve a blueprint for a hydrogen bomb and bring it back to the present day (after repairing the time portal). I think just finding the blueprint would have been enough of a mission without the convoluted time portal addition.
Puzzles
Practical, and a lot of fun. A keen eye was needed for this one. We needed the odd hint to point us in the right direction, but there was one part we were completely stumped on and (almost) had to have the answer spelled out to us.
Mise-en-scène
Another tiny space! While there were one or two cool, authentic props, I didn't feel like I was in the '50s. I was half-expecting/hoping for a jukebox. It was an unexciting, fusty study.
Final Comments
Luckily, a team of two or three was fine for the number of puzzles; the room would have been too cramped with more than four. A nice challenge, but not one I could justify paying full price for.
