Nothing wrong with this game but also nothing to make it special. Probably best for first timers.

great hosting

Lots to do and a wide variety of puzzle types in this room. Love the use of a glass wall to tease you about things you can't access.

value for moneyclevergreat hosting
Like all of the other rooms at the venue, decoration is sparse but effective, this game starts with a lot of searching including one type of hiding place I have never encountered before!  Your task is to find and retrieve 5 diamonds before the Mr Big comes back (he should be away for 60 minutes conveniently enough).  Progress is mostly linear in nature but thatโ€™s not to say there are some clever puzzles along the way.  Once again an incredibly fun way to spend an hour whether you are a beginner or an experienced player.  Our GM was Adam who expertly nudged back on course and was great throughout.

A well enough put together room with enthusiastic hosts, but for anyone whoโ€™s used to fully immersive high-tech rooms itโ€™ll feel a bit lacking - there are simply no โ€˜wowโ€™ moments, just a succession of puzzles to give you clues to unlock stuff, when youโ€™ve solved all the puzzles youโ€™re done. My friend whose first room it was loved it though.
