A fun room with one physical puzzle in particular being something we’ve never come across before and really enjoyed. But the rest of the puzzles became quite predictable, especially if you’ve played other rooms from this company previously. Several chambers to work through. The theming started off really well but lacked a bit in the final ‘main’ chambers.
I liked the story and the premise of this room, but the puzzles were just a bit too simple, so we never had any satisfying ‘eureka’ moments when we worked something out. Felt more like just working through a jobs list. Some significant broken tech towards the end broke the immersion and delayed us a good 5-10minutes, but even so our team of two managed to complete the main quest in just 35 mins (and we are far from experts!)
There were then bonus tasks to complete in collecting more loot but as this didn’t count for anything it all felt a bit pointless and anticlimactic.
This room was a little strange, as we got to the end in a little over 30 mins despite really taking our time, with us both expecting another room/couple of rooms as it seemed incredibly short.
Nothing particularly challenging or exciting, rather underwhelming.
An interesting room this one, probably one of the largest in terms of room size yet it was themed well.
There's a room change involved where the immersion is slightly lost, plus we left key items in the first room which hampered our progress in the next one which didn't help.
All in all, very enjoyable, a couple of broken tech bits and a shame the extra loot at the end wasn't added up to some kind of total/scoring system.
First room with Exit and it didn't disappoint. There were some unique puzzles and the room was genuinely creepy due to the setting and the speaker's overhead. The host was brilliant, albeit slightly exaggerative in his briefing looking back.
Overall, a very fun room.
A good few years ago since we played this but have very fun memories!
Wow, this was our very first escape room, soooo many years ago now but we have never forgotten the brilliance! Some of the stuff, we have still never come across again showing some great originality. Definitely recommend as a first room or a 100th. We loved it!
