Very puzzle-driven room. You get to wear a mask as part of the gameplay and mine has mesh all over the eyes with made it so hard to see clearly as the light was hitting the mesh and reflecting off it 😓 Except for this frustrating part (literally could not see a f£cking thing) the rest of the room played nicely.

Lots of puzzles to play with! Unfortunately, we only got around to play the room just before the site shut down

As with the other game at this branch, it felt in need of TLC with tired interiors and slowly fading props. I appreciate the game is closing so didn't dwell on this too much. I loved the start to this room - very original and the use of masks fit so brilliantly in the theme. All of the puzzles were very solid and beautifully Deadlocked. I also enjoyed the video links throughout and the simple yet effective use of lock boxes (it is a bank after all)!

I particularly liked the thematic start to this room and then how we got to discover the rest of the space from there. All of the puzzles were really solid and enjoyable, but there was not enough of them... We solved the room in just over half an hour, gaining 2nd on the all time leaderboard, yet didn't feel as if we were rushing at any stage. Shame the branch has now closed, but with a little more TLC on the decor and temperature of the room (it was very cold!) this could have been a lot more!

Decent theming for this room, again with a good variety of puzzles. A couple of frustrating elements for us, but hinting was well themed.

The originality of the opening for this room sadly doesn't flow for the duration of the game. Once past the initial challenges, the room is quite sparse and doesn't live up to the theme. The puzzles however are the highlight of Deadlocked's rooms and this has a good range of them.

We were a team of 3, two adults and our 9 year old daughter.  We loved it! The start is great and the puzzles were fab however we needed some help, the host was brilliant just giving us enough clues to point us in the right direction. 

We’d definitely do it again.

The other game at their Loughborough branch is better but still has some teething issues that needed ironing out.

It's a couple of months since I played this game, this was my 50th so I was hoping it would be something special and it was, just not in the way I'd hoped.  I've read subsequent reviews to this and it appears the problems they had have been improved if not completely resolved.  We had multiple tech fails and the GM had to enter the room several times.  We probably played this room too early in its life but I would argue it was barely able to be playtested let alone normal play.  Disappointing after how much I enjoyed their Northampton branch.
