Review by Dani Harrell expert
This was probably my favourite out of the games we played at Escape Ipswich, though still some flaws.
Set design was nice, i don’t think the concept of the gameplay was explained all that well before we entered which hindered us slightly. My partner was obsessed with one puzzle for 90% of the game as he couldnt solve it (he’s big into casino games and i didnt really follow the normal rules/terminology of the game in real life which made it way more confusing than it needed to be). I solved everything else in the game whilst he was focussed on that, so it’s certainly not a game that requires a large group of people.
The game started with a hint on the screen saying you may need to use some codes again so to leave them on the locks (never seen this before, would maybe have been better if you had something to write down on).
I enjoyed some of the puzzles, and the feel of the room. Being punished on your total money at the end for the amount of clues you have is slightly annoying but didnt bother me all that much, but i know that it would for a lot of other people.
