Our first ever escape room so we werenβt sure what to expect and this is probably what lead to our downfall! I know this game has closed now but still a fond memory as it was our first room years ago.
Set was immersive, however we did find at times we were struggling to see due to the poor lighting- I know this was in keeping with the theming but at times it felt like we were failing elements due to not being able to see rather than not actually understanding the puzzles.
A lot of this room felt like it was about finding things, and only now as more experienced players do I understand where we went so badly wrong- more than likely due to our nervousness of what we could/couldnβt touch or turn over and what to expect etc. First time player nerves!
There were some very cleverly done puzzles that my friends whoβve done this room and I still remember fondly. It was a good escape room to start with on our journey into escape rooms and Iβm glad we played it, it was definitely an eye opener into making sure you thoroughly search your escape room first!


I wasn't impressed by this room as there was only a handful of puzzles, most of the idea behind this room is to struggle to find puzzles, handles or keys due to the lack of light more than due to the difficulty of the puzzles, which didn't make it very rewarding! A good idea for a room but not particularly well executed!

This is a difficult game to review for me, because there was a great deal about it I thought was really good, but which I found to be undermined by a couple of huge flaws that saw us stuck on a single puzzle for well over half the time. In addition, having failed it by a larger margin than I think any previous game, I need to be careful to avoid sour grapes.
