You are a news reporter assigned to cover a suspicious incident at a local estate. You find police officers already on the scene in response to blood curling screams from one of the rooms. You soon learn that medical technicians in the building have been infected by something sinister. As a number of technicians were viciously attacked, they try to escape with your news crew, only to find that MI6 have quarantined the entire estate. Internet, televisions and mobile access have been cut-off and officials are not relaying any information to those locked inside. You discover that something terrible has happened and the authorities are trying to conceal the truth. Beware! This is our most difficult room and you only have sixty minutes to find your way out and escape from the premises.

It was billed as the 'hardest room in Estonia', and it definitely ranks as one of the hardest rooms I've tried. Unfortunately, that was partly because of gratuitous use of darkness in part of the room, and a complex final puzzle that didn't seem to make sense even when the organiser explained it.
Both our teams failed the room, and it's easy to decide that puzzles were unfair when you didn't get out; but on balan...
