Break Free Leicester: Spy Mission

First off I played this game at Clue HQ in Birmingham and that was a decent experience.  I played this renamed game as we were mean't to play Quarantine (now called "Ostracize") but it wasn't working correctly (this was our second attempt to play) so we were offered this room and the two people I was with hadn't played it before.  It didn't go well.  This branch of Clue HQ has recently been taken over by Break Free and it feels like we're still in a changeover period.  Two puzzles were broken and taken out of the game, one was quite broken but in play (I spotted how it was broken and was able to solve it but apparently I was the first person).  A year ago we played the "Vault" and I think I said then the room felt quite tired and in desperate need of a refresh.  This room is worse than that and is desperately in need of some TLC, it's a shame as there are some clever puzzles here (as I saw when I played the Birmingham version).  I never like writing bad reviews, the GM did her very best and was great throughout and nothing was her fault but it's hard to recommend this room in this state at this time.

One of the better ClueHQ rooms. Some good tech and puzzles. Too much smoke, not good for those with asthma

Tedious one room game, worn out props which made it virtually impossible to complete one puzzle and just generally bland. Not one to spend this amount of money on.
