A very enjoyable game that utilises the 80s theme well in the decor and puzzles.

Only got stuck a couple of times but with a couple of pointers from the gm we were off again.

There were a couple of inventive and unique puzzles that we really enjoyed. Definetly one to try if you're in the area.

This felt like the weakest of the rooms at this location. It could really do with a refresh as it is very worn in a number of places, but if you like the 80s then you’ll probably have fun.
A race against time is set in the 80’s and being children of the era it was a nostalgia trip right from the off. As with their other room the decor was spot on for the theme and there were some real 80’s gems not on display to come later too!
