This was our first visit here. Really enjoyed the theme and story behind the room, and it has some decent puzzles. The main problem was with a particular device/puzzle requiring some dexterity and manually moving parts; it took us a long time to do and didn’t work as intended, so someone had to come in to fix it, which obviously breaks the immersion significantly. Would still come back to try their other rooms, though.

quite difficult

This was an enjoyable room with lots of different things to work on at the same time. 

You will need somebody dextrous with you as not all puzzles are logic and some were quite tough to do. Teamwork is the key here. 

An enjoyable room and better than the other one we played here but I don't think we'd rush back.

The whole experience would be improved by more interaction and build up from the hosts but that doesn't seem to be something that they do.

poor hostingquite difficult

This was our first ever room so other may not find it as difficult as we did. We spent a lot of time reading things that we didn't need rather than concentrating on what we should have been doing.  Looking back, I'm not sure if there was just more clutter in this room or, if it was just our inexperience. I also feel the host could have been more helpful knowing that this was our first ever room.

The room was quite small so keep the team below 4 and there were a lot of objects etc to find.

We did enjoy the room and went back to play another but I don't think they'd rate among our favourites.

clevergreat hostingquite difficult

Nice, room not so much linear as there are different lines you can take.  One puzzle though would need a dedicated team member to work on that throughout as others worked on different puzzles. Found the puzzles challenging and definitely needed some guidance but the host was great with the hints that were given.  Nice touch in the venue were the pictures of celebs that have played his games in the hallway.

cleverstory-driven

Nice room, different to your usual themes. Homemade elements to the room and can see where others had reviewed this as a dated room.  When we first walked in we were a little apprehensive by the appearance but the story and puzzles flowed nicely and turned out to be a good little room that we enjoyed playing.
