This review may sound negative as there were some things that let the room down but overall it wasn't a bad room and we did enjoy it, it just didn't feel like anything special & wasn't as strong as others we've played.
Firstly, the theming was strong and atmospheric. However, the hosting was poor, there were a couple of broken props, we felt a lack of direction, some elements were a bit random and the ending came too suddenly.
Strongest game at this venue for me - everything made perfect sense as to what we needed to do and why. Some of the puzzles felt a little repetitive at times but otherwise v fun.
Great game, fun puzzles and a lot to do - kept us very busy! The game is fab in terms of the set, they've done well with decoration here. Some original puzzles and times when the team is separated.
Only complaint is that our GM didn't offer much help when we asked for it. We would ask for clues verbally and met with silence.
Good puzzles set within a well themed room. If the story was woven into the puzzles and the room itself this would have been higher. Overall a solid if unspectacular room.
This room was the highlight of the day for me. I know VX2.0 seems to be getting more love right now, but this room is fun, traditional, and just generally well put together
