Great room with some puzzles we hadn't encountered before which was refreshing.  Not sure that all of the puzzles really fit with the theme, but equally they weren't so out of place that it was jarring at all. The room worked really well with how our team thinks so we we found it pretty easy, but depending on the team some may find it quite a tricky room. Not really scary at all, just a bit dark at times.  My only slight issue was that some of the more hidden clues were quite hard to read/see. We managed fine, but some people may struggle to read them.

Excellent room with good puzzles! Great effect being handcuffed and having to escape that at the start. Multiple rooms within the room and very real feel (particularly when people walking up the stairs outside sounds like your captor coming back lol). We enjoyed this room a lot and would happily play their other games. The room provided a good, healthy amount of challenge and was thought provoking. Hint: look around and use anything in the room! Highly recommended.

We were taken hostage and bound together with handcuffs before being locked in a small cell! See how we made our escape from this MK escape room!
