Get Away Zone: Red Alert

Tallinn, Jun 2016

Rated between 3 and 4 out of 5
It’s difficult to review this room because it included one very memorable moment which I’m avoiding talking about so as not to spoil it, and which is something of a ‘love it or hate it’ element.

Hidden Rooms: Invisible Space

London, May 2016

Rated 1 out of 5

Cryptex: Bomb

Prague, Jul 2015

Rated between 2.5 and 3 out of 5
There was a nice contraption for one of the puzzles… that unfortunately didn’t work properly for either of our teams. It was a reasonable room, definitely on the hard side so perhaps worth trying for teams looking for a challenge; but on the whole … (more)
