Co-Decode: Sub Terra

Possibly the best escape room I'm played.

The set dressing is beautiful, and the game brightly lit (no need to dim lighting to make the game harder to pad the length out here, there's plenty of content).

The theme runs through the entire game, even down to the countdown timer (which I won't spoil for you). It has a wonderfully wide variety of puzzles, zero padlocks, and only a small number of keypads. There are lots of things to unlock, but they all take more interesting approaches than the simple and traditional.

It parallelises beautifully — our team of four mostly ended up with two people working on any given puzzle (swapping people around when a fresh mind needed to approach a problem). The design of the game means you have a good idea of the progress you are making so can judge how well you are doing.

I could gush about all the wonderful features for quite some time, but risk drifting into spoiler territory. If you like escape rooms, you should play this game.
