Rated between 40 and 40 out of 5
Played: 25/10/20 Team size: 4 Time taken: 15 minutes Outcome: Successful escape!

This was a really fun and interesting escape room run by real enthusiasts that clearly love the industry. We were offered a drink upon entry as well as a small token prize at the end which really added to the experience. 

The room itself focuses on an engaging narrative where you are miners trying to restart the Earths core, the miners hats were a lovely touch. The game master was in character throughout, guiding us through using walkie talkie; however there were times that this was a bit annoying as it stilted our flow. 

The props and setting were well thought through with some really nice surprises...Iā€™m not going to spoil them. There was a nice moment near the end where the host created tension with the group through the narrative and we all liked this. 

We would have liked a few more puzzles , however, there were a good balance of logic and physical. 

We visited during the pandemic, we felt safe and the staff wore masks/visors the whole time.
