We revisited this room, having done the original 'Lab' game as our 9th room back in 32 mins back in 2017 and always meant to come back since the revamp, and eventually made it our 136th room. We enjoyed this room, and we were pleased to see it had enough puzzles to keep us going a bit longer.
Absolutely brilliant experience
The best escape room we've played so far!
Top-tier theming, great host who happily chatted to us for 15 mins before starting, varied and interesting puzzles.
Some reviews here say the puzzles are "illogical" - I STRONGLY disagree. The puzzles require you to actually think outside the box and follow the narrative!! This is the Dark Souls of escape rooms - difficult but fair.
One small criticism is that you obtain a very wordy document early into the room, the majority of which isn't required - the creators should shorten this down to just a couple of pages, I think, so people don't waste 10 mins just reading.
10/10 !!
On the whole a solid room, great location and decent puzzles apart from one which was a little illogical.
We blitzed through most puzzles but got stuck on one for 10 minutes (we attempt all rooms without asking for clues where possible) we finally caved and asked for a hint, only to be told something we've already figured out. After asking for a further clue we were again fed information we'd already figured out. A little more thought into giving better hints would go a long way here.
Added the overpriced tag due to being £14 more expensive on a Friday compared to Thursday.
