Nice space, not many original puzzles though. Wouldn't say it was incredibly difficult so don't let the difficulty rating put you off.
Lots to do, great set. Well worth playing.

Locked Room Budapest- House of Escobar
October 2023
Overview
After Metro had been ticked off our list, we then took on House of Escobar, which is supposed to be one of Locked more difficult rooms. With Metro ticking a lot of boxes, we were very much looking forward to seeing what this room had own store. The reception area was large enough for groups to sit and chat whilst waiting for their game and one of the team was very excited with the free hot beverages as well. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming, asking for our advice on escape rooms back home.
Room impression
As soon as you walk through the door and start watching your mission brief on the screen in the corner, you are transformed to South America into a set worthy of a TV show. It really was that impressive! The amount of effort that has been put into the decoration, lighting and sound throughout the game was truly staggering and it is right up there in terms of the one of the best we have played.As you move through the game, the immersion continues right until the end puzzle. A massive thumbs up from us.
Puzzles
The game was quite linear with not many padlocks at all. A lot of searching and finding clues and at no real point were any of us stood around doing nothing, we did have to split up a lot and rely on good communication to different parts of the game sections to be able to progress. We really enjoyed this aspect of the game and it certainly broke up the ‘normal’ mundane padlocks that you can find in some rooms.
Game Master Clues
We didn’t actually need any help with this room. We got to grips with it pretty easily but the TV screen but the entrance door was there with a timer in case the host needed to get hold of us.
Round Up
With this being our second room completed with Locked in Budapest, it is clear to see why the city is voted as one of the best in the world for escape room games. The amount of detail put into this room and also our previous room (Metro) was extremely impressive. You can tell that the staff care abut what they door and are willing you on throughout your stay with them. Escobar was on paper one of their more difficult rooms but we thoroughly enjoyed it and highly recommend.
