Review by Scotus0 expert

Rated between 35 and 35 out of 5
Played: 30/10/2018 Team size: 2 Time taken: 56:55 Outcome: Successful escape!

A Hair-Raising Hospital

A horror-themed room seemed appropriate for this time of year!

Story

As part of a SWAT team, investigate the whereabouts of missing PC Richards, who may have last been seen at a seemingly abandoned hospital.

Puzzles

A fine mixture, and accurate level of difficulty for the four-star rating (NB: it's now been increased to five-star, so may have changed since my attempt). There wasn't anything to blow your mind; it was rudimentary puzzle-solving.

Mise-en-scène

Inexact. I'd accept the escape room trope of 'serial killer's lair', but apart from a steel gurney and one or two other bits, it had nothing else that correlated with a disused hospital or its corridors.

Final Comments

If we were part of a SWAT team then surely our weapons would have made us feel safe. Either way, this was a fairly spine-chilling challenge that made me feel a little suspenseful at times. Take a team of four to blitz it, go as a pair for more of a challenge.
