Loved the way that they've incorporated the tech into this game and how it interacted with one puzzle in particular. Small play space but lots to do in the time!

Reviews by escape room review sites

Clue HQ's Birmingham branch has two games that are only available in that location, both often praised by enthusiasts. Since one of those (Captain Riddle) is the best I've played from the company so far, I was eager to try the other, Hellevator.
