A great, quirky and fun cat James Bond themed room. We were the last to play the room before it closed.
As cat-people, we were always going to love this game but even without the feline theme, this would still be a purr-fect little serving of delicious escapism treats.
Bob Bing - F.I.S.H. agent - has left some clues out and, conveniently, his own private submarine, which is rather lucky because we needed all of these things in order to defeat the mighty Monty Mouse. Everything in this game is very carefully designed, including the decor. It is such a beautifully-made game with not a whiff of a tired-looking laminated sheet or a worn carpet that's seen better days; everything in here is clean, bright, smart and purposeful with a clever eye for cute cat puns.
The best thing about this room is undoubtedly how logically the puzzles flow together. The puzzles are inventive and make perfect sense and the cohesion of the room is a real standout.
Third game we have played at Beyond Breakout and each one gets stronger and stronger. Nice mixture of puzzles and storyline. Clever use of space. As ever hosts are great, really enthusiastic and can tell they have put a lot of love and care into their games. Well worth a visit.
Played Elfin Mistake last year as an Avatar room and had to come back for this years updated version to see the lovely elves Lorna and Jo. If you played last year you'll find the story, room and telescape interface rather familiar, and maybe one or two of the puzzles too (if you've a good memory) but there's lots of new stuff in there to play. Its a great way to get a festive escape room fix and is perfect to play with newbies or the family.
We had the best time laughing and joking with our Avatar elves who were definitely up for some banter and gave as good as they got... we were having so much of a laugh that we almost ran out of time!
Thanks for the laughs Lorna and Jo, I have missed your madcap mayhem avatar style!
A great Christmas game with a pair of very friendly and funny elves who love to banter with the teams as much as they like you to solve their puzzles! Nicely themed puzzles, with not too much reliance on telescape, and great camera work make this a great family game. Enjoy!
Christmas room with a pair of fun, friendly and funny elves, we had just as much fun laughing and joking with our elvish hosts as we did with the puzzles. Some lovely inventive puzzles mixed in with some classics and good use of telescape for putting the codes in makes this a fun family game and perfect for Christmas. Its pitched perfectly for families at Christmas, so enthusiasts may find it alittle short.... But its Christmas, take your time, have a laugh with the elves and just delight in festive puzzles, We loved it.
Felt like they were still working out the kinks, but the hosts were enthusiastic. The set design and props are definitely upcycled and, well, feel a bit cheap to me. The puzzles and story work fine, although nothing really stands out as must-see.
