I think this is the only Escape Hunt room I can truly say that I enjoyed.
At least 3 mis resets.
Everything was broken, everything had to be overridden and we always had to wait for it to happen
Then we completed everything and threw all the final pieces in, then we got told that we hadn't solved a puzzle and we're missing pieces.
So we went back to the puzzle they told us to go back to and we told them that we'd already done it.
Then they overrode it, so obviously weren't watching.
The GM was very keen to offer us 50% off next time
Oh and everything was tatty as hell, there was meant to be some writing on a cloth that you needed to read, but it was completely unreadable too.
For £100 for 4 people, pretty terrible value really.
Everything was broken, poor hosting. Really disappointing.

Picking a game for the afternoon slot at Escape Hunt's Oxford branch was a choice between pirates and cowboys, and we chose the latter. Wild West casts you as lucky but imperilled miners: having discovered a rich seam of gold in a remote and dusty frontier town (incongruously but conveniently already formed into bars), you now need to make a quick exit by train before the local gangsters arrive to take it all from you.
That premise is used for an unusual scoring system. You need to find as many...
Escape Hunt, Oxford impressed us with one of our favourite games to date. Since playing ‘Escape the Wild West’ we’ve been and played all the other rooms at Escape Hunt, Oxford
