Hint Hunt London

First room I ever played. For the time this was simply brilliant. Lovely hosts too!

Didn't really enjoy this one

Tricky! First one I ever did and a great introduction to escape rooms, but rooms have evolved a lot more since

This game had good bits and bad bits. We breezed through most of it, which is unusual for a Hint Hunt game as they normally design games with the expectation that players will need hints. Because we were so far ahead the GM left us hanging for ages on one bit we were stuck on which was rather frustrating. But overall enjoyable - there were enough good bits to outweigh the bad.

This was the first escape room I ever played and it started my love affair with them.  By today's standards this room is very ordinary with many of it's puzzles seeming a tad cliché. However, I personally think it deserves a bit of slack as it it was one of the first, if not the first, Escape Room in the UK and at that time the puzzles which now seem cliché were novel and exciting.

So this room gets a slightly higher rating than it would do if I had played it recently, but the PurpleB of 2015 thought it was great!

Hint Hunt run two different games out of the submarine room.  We found this room quite frustrating because of this.  Red herrings and diversions are one thing, and part of the puzzle experience, but things that were genuinely puzzle parts but for a completely different game arc became annoying.  There is a part of the game which requires physical dexterity in a confined space which really should have been designed to be larger - only one member of our group of 6 was physically able to do this due to space constraints.
