quite difficult

We did not get on in this room. From the off, it had my back up by combining the breaking of two rules of escape rooms as the very first "puzzle." It didn't get a lot better. There aren't a lot of puzzles in this room, and for whatever reason, we found them very hard. A couple were just difficult, and that's fair enough, but others required leaps of logic that were not signposted well at all. 

Also, reading through the other reviews for this game—and my thoughts while we were playing it—I noticed that some of the puzzles in this room have been stripped down/changed. I have no idea if it would have improved our experience had the originals been in place. The decor in some places was extremely worn. 

We only just managed to get out (although I had doubts we really did), and I was too grumpy to stay for the photo opp at the end. 

I don't recommend it for enthusiasts at all.
