A good room with very straightforward puzzles. The story and room are great but it feels like it is missing something from it…

Some good use of tech but I think variety is the spice of life when it comes to puzzles…some oppourtunities missed to make this really interactive and one of a kind. But is is very like other zombie / infected stories.

A straight-forward padlock and code escape room with decent puzzle flow and some nice details.

We flew through it so it would be great for beginners or families, as it's not tricky and is very linear but there are some nice moments that we enjoyed.

Jon was our host and he was an absolute delight.

Not much to do as a 4 as fairly linear. Some cool designs.

The premise and design are cool and we really enjoyed one particular central feature of the game. Apart from one puzzle that felt a bit overcomplicated, it was straightforward stuff.

A decent game for beginners - there isn't too much to challenge more experienced players but, as always with Escape Edinburgh, it's a fun game with some well-designed puzzles and nice hosts.

Some really lovely details in this room and some instinctive, logical puzzles. A couple of really excellent elements to this game that we particularly enjoyed - a fun room.

This is a lovely room with some cool physical aspects. It really does look like a magical emporium and there are some delightful details. A fun room if not too challenging.
