Escape010: Enigma

Rotterdam, Apr 2024

Rated 3.5 out of 5
Enigma010 have two rooms and we played both of them, starting with Enigma. I’d wondered if it were a WW2 theme, then saw the game artwork and decided it must be a superhero story. That wasn’t entirely correct; the main villain has that sort of style,… (more)

Escape Hunt: Eye of the Sun God

Manchester, Mar 2024

Rated 4 out of 5
Escape Hunt doesn’t always have a great reputation; the games of theirs that I’ve played have been a mixed bag. That shouldn’t put you off trying Eye of the Sun God. It’s probably the best of theirs I’ve played at any of the chain’s branches, and is … (more)
