Clue HQ Birmingham

We escaped... Debatably. We were there to test the game, so having worked out all the puzzles and through some technical issues, we were apparently the first team to complete this room. Based on our feedback to them I can only assume they made radical changes, as I've since seen a lot of photos on Clue HQ's Facebook page of people escaping this room. When we did it, this was hands down the hardest room we had ever done. We're not terribly experienced - I've done about 10 - but this was definitely the toughest. 

A couple of potential spoilers, so you might not want to read further, but some people might be intrigued to know; there are no padlocks in this room! I think that's pretty cool. 

My first escape room. It was awesome. We did however manage to accidentally circumvent a puzzle. We didn't know, as it was our first Escape Room, but I don't feel like that should have been possible. Hopefully that will have been fixed by now, but because of it, I can't give a 5 star rating. 

I loved this. This has been my favourite so far (our of 6). There was a nice big surprise for us in this room, which I don't want to spoil here! There was one puzzle that annoyed me, as the maths involved ignored BODMAS, so I feel like it was dumbed down. I really like that this game has an option to escape, or stay to win treasure!! We stayed. We nearly got locked in because of it, but we did escape with the treasure! 

This is so atmospheric - but not too scary. We were all screaming at other by the end because we knew we were close!! Eventually escaping with just 3 seconds to go!! It was awesome.
