A great collection style room with so much to do, we have finished some very hard collection rooms but didn't get close here.

Mostly had three of us stood waiting while one was doing a task. Not overly keen on linear games like this.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Having been opened for 2021’s festive season, Christmas Advent-ure was long closed by mid spring when I got to Halifax, but the owners kindly allowed us to play it anyhow, since it hadn’t yet been torn down. I’m not sure whether it’ll be available again next Christmas, so this review may be purely for retrospective interest.

This is a score-based game. Your goal is to gather small wooden tokens called PUDs, which you then feed into a collector that gathers them off in a rather satisfying manner...

Normally, we at Review the Room do not mesh well with games themed around the jolly holidays, but Christmas Advent-ure doesn’t feel like your typical Christmas game
