As a stray dog barks, a dry desert wind blows through the abandoned streets of Tumbleweed.
The sheriff and his deputies are out of town, a posse of bounty hunters emerge from a cloud of dust intent on rounding up the Wild Westβs most Wanted.
There are rewards to be had and nobody seems to be minding the bank!
You have 90 minutes to escape with the loot before the sheriff returns!

This is a very very good game with a lot to do, and very nicely themed. I think our GM on the day was very distracted as we basically completed the game apart from two things, with about 15-20 minutes to go. However we were not helped correctly so just spent the last part just confused and it left us feeling a bit deflated. Maybe you will get a better GM.

An awesome room for room 60 for me and hubby. Very non-linear with lots to do all over the place. The aim is to get as much money in the time as possible rather than escape, but we managed to get it all and escape in the time. Our 5 and 8 year olds loved the puzzles and props and there were some great hands on puzzles for them to tackle too. Great hosting by Lauren who gave a brilliant balance of hints and leaving us to it.
We attempted this room as a pair, and we're really impressed by the level of thought that had gone into the room design and decor. We loved the theme and the tactile and clever puzzles.
It would definitely work well for a competitive larger group, but the objective (collecting as much cash as possible) meant it didn't preclude us from having a great time as we tackled the puzzles.
The GM was fantastic - clearly passionate about personalising the game to give us the best possible time based on our experience, group size and so on.
Despite the odd setting in Gnome World, we were pleasantly surprised by Tumbleweed. It had good set dressing, solid puzzles, and nice and open gameplay, the fact that it was 90 minutes was also a bonus. If youβre in Cornwall, this one is worth a detour.
