Very easy room. Arrived at the centre to be told the sound was broken - bless the host as he tried his best to fill in for the missing audio!
The room was just very plain, easy puzzles and red-herrings that just distracted you from the point of the game. Very anticlimactic ending too which left a dampener on the whole experience.
These rooms are located in a city full of experiences that are so much better then what Escape Hunt has to offer, spend your money at one of those venues instead
Easiest escape room ever done got the record in 25 minutes. Very linear and easy to work out but was very fun and a great room. Probably the best at escape hunt but feel escape hunt has very few puzzles within their rooms and a lack of creativity
Some tough puzzles. The look of the room probably is better than the puzzles themselves

Our least favourite game that we have played at Escape Hunt. The puzzles could have been really good but their execution was somewhat lacking. An enjoyable game overall however
