A decent room, good for friends and familes. It's immersive with some ok puzzles.
This is a sci-fi room with no padlocks or other types of physical locks, progress is made by opening keypad locked doors or using RFID equipped objects. We found it difficult to start before we found our flow and it's quite easy to overthink some of the problems. Host was excellently on point and gave us a nudge when we needed it. The story didn't quite make sense and it felt like a story for a different game but this was good fun.
This game felt very similar to 8 years later we had played at an Escape branch in Colchester but under a different name, redressed theme but ans soon as I entered I recognised the layout of the room and the props. There was a different story and very slightly different puzzles. This worked for us as we were able to take a step back and let the kids take the lead.
The host was fantastic and the puzzles made sense. Just be wary if you have played 8 years later before booking as you may also see similarities that may affect your experience.
Reviews by escape room review sites
Playing on a separate occasion, I'd agree with those comments, although I'd add in a note of appreciation for the game having more than one room, good puzzle variety, skilful and entertaining hosts, and a refreshing lack of frustration points - generally whenever you've solved a puzzle, it's clear that you've done so.
Compared to the Casino room I did at the same venue immediately beforehand, the game structure is more linear and the content somewhat easier. Experienced teams will find it easy ...
