An incredibly themed room. Were inventive and fun aspects. Didn't feel like there was a ton of puzzles to complete and most were quite easy.

The theming was brilliant and a lot of the puzzles were good. However, the inflatable boat deflated and one of our group got absolutely drenched! Not a great feeling when you’re then walking in sand.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Few companies make such a stir so soon after opening as DarkMaster. It wasn’t long after they launched their first two games that word spread that they had something special; and of the two, it was Reliquary that particularly caused the buzz.

This is a jungle / lost temple romp, in the style of Indiana Jones or Lara Croft, searching for a lost artefact, and in several ways it manages to capture a visceral, physical sense of adventure and peril in a way that few escape rooms can manage. I shan’t...

The set of Into the Reliquary is truly something to behold, and there are certain moments throughout the game that we are unlikely to forget for some time. The puzzles didn’t wow in the same way as their surroundings, but still made for a fun game, although that was somewhat overshadowed by a moment or two of what felt like legitimate danger.

Immersion – in every sense of the word!

If an immersive escape experience is what you are after, look no further! Dark Master have made a very impressive debut with Into the Reliquary. The set design is highly professional and of a quality that you would find in a movie theme park. Luckily, the giant carnivore plants in the bit of the Peruvian jungle you find yourself in aren’t real, but the water very much is.

I’ve been in quite a few bonkers sets for Escape Rooms. This has to be the most nuts, even beating DarkMaster’s own aeroplane in One Wing. Everything has been thrown at it, with one more surprise just when you think they can’t do any more. It is an incredible feat of engineering and I’ve no idea how they managed half of it.

A beautifully themed room with puzzles to match the room. Unique concepts and some awesome surprises. Check our review for more details
