Real Quest: Breaking Bad

Riga, Jul 2017

Rated 2.5 out of 5
The room’s decoration is not awful, and reminiscent of that episode. If you’ve seen Breaking Bad, you know what I mean. If you haven’t, don’t worry. As episodes go, it does lend itself to an escape room, but unfortunately the room itself reall… (more)

Real Quest: Abandoned Research Complex

Riga, Jul 2017

Rated between 3.5 and 4 out of 5
Abandoned Research Complex has a rather generic name that doesn’t entirely do justice to its premise. In a post-apocalypse world your group of survivors are in an underground bunker, which – whoops! – contains a bomb that’s due to detonate in one hou… (more)

Nogame: Psylab

Riga, Jul 2017

Rated 2 out of 5

Riga, Jul 2017

I’m not a big fan of slasher horror g… (more)

Escape Room: “Mona Lisa” Affair

Riga, Jul 2017

Rated between 3.5 and 4.5 out of 5
It seems the good people of Riga are rather obsessed with theft based games, since this was the fourth heist themed game that we played. In this instance, you’re given a pre-burglary briefing with various bits of equipment and instructions to follow…. (more)

MyEscape: Gordon vs E-corp

Riga, Jul 2017

Rated between 4 and 4.5 out of 5
Gordon vs E-corp has a distinctive name and an unusual setting. In a future dystopia, humanity needs to escape from a dying world to a distant planet; and the man who has invented a fuel source that could allow us to reach it has been kidnapped by a … (more)

MyEscape: Jewelry Theft

Riga, Jul 2017

Rated between 3.5 and 4.5 out of 5
The second of four (!) heist games we played in Riga, Jewelry Theft (or Jewelry Thieft, as their website currently calls it) has you breaking into a high-end jewelry shop to swipe the FabergĂ© egg hidden somewhere inside. Fortunately a friendly cleani… (more)
