quite easy
Great game for beginners, mostly based on searching, nothing too tricky. Quite linear so better with a smaller team - we were 2 adults, a 10 year old and an 8 year old.

very easy
We found this to be the weakest of the rooms at Paradox Parlours. Mostly search-based puzzles, and very linear, so it was incredibly simple with a team of 5 enthusiasts, and left most of us standing around not doing much!
Another great game for the guys at Paradox Parlours. Set looked great and I really enjoyed some of the more physical parts to the room that felt in keeping with the oil rig theme.
We played this when it first opened and think we were given too much help quite early on when looking at a puzzle, would have liked more time to work it out/come back to it, but this was very early doors of the room being open so may have just been teething. Good theming and development of the room through the game

great hostingplaintoo easyvery easy
The good:- Hosting was good.- Set was nice enough The bad:- This room was almost completely linear meaning that, as a team of four, two of us had nothing to do for basically the whole time.- This room is ridiculously easy. I could recommend this room for groups of two at most. The puzzles are somewhat entertaining, but far too easy anyway. Their other room in the same venue is better.
