Very puzzle-driven room. You get to wear a mask as part of the gameplay and mine has mesh all over the eyes with made it so hard to see clearly as the light was hitting the mesh and reflecting off it 😓 Except for this frustrating part (literally could not see a f£cking thing) the rest of the room played nicely.
Lots of puzzles to play with! Unfortunately, we only got around to play the room just before the site shut down
As with the other game at this branch, it felt in need of TLC with tired interiors and slowly fading props. I appreciate the game is closing so didn't dwell on this too much. I loved the start to this room - very original and the use of masks fit so brilliantly in the theme. All of the puzzles were very solid and beautifully Deadlocked. I also enjoyed the video links throughout and the simple yet effective use of lock boxes (it is a bank after all)!
I particularly liked the thematic start to this room and then how we got to discover the rest of the space from there. All of the puzzles were really solid and enjoyable, but there was not enough of them... We solved the room in just over half an hour, gaining 2nd on the all time leaderboard, yet didn't feel as if we were rushing at any stage. Shame the branch has now closed, but with a little more TLC on the decor and temperature of the room (it was very cold!) this could have been a lot more!
Decent theming for this room, again with a good variety of puzzles. A couple of frustrating elements for us, but hinting was well themed.
The originality of the opening for this room sadly doesn't flow for the duration of the game. Once past the initial challenges, the room is quite sparse and doesn't live up to the theme. The puzzles however are the highlight of Deadlocked's rooms and this has a good range of them.
