The story of Danny Badd continues but this time you are trying to find identity of a murderer. This is probably the most tech-filled room I've done at ClueHQ, there's a lot to do but there's also a lot of red herrings to sift out. We ran out of time as there was too much to do in the latter stage, if we'd had one more person I think we'd have won.

Decent room. Some puzzles were a little complicated but most are smart and enjoyable. Great for larger teams as there's lots to do.

Unfortunately we were one the first to try out this room when It opened, the puzzles were pretty good, most made sense, unfortunately some pieces of the room weren't set up correctly and 1 or 2 pieces broke/didn't work resulting in stopped playtime for resetting.

Hosting was good and I can't say for certain if the room has improved since the opening few weeks, but knowing clue hq I'm sure it will have

story-driven

A different set up in the sense that it's about solving a crime rather than escaping from the room, there was a central 'evidence base' that helped to measure progress, which we liked. The geography of the room wasn't our favourite feature and we found ourselves getting in each other's way a few times but there were some nice puzzles, including a really neat audio one.

It's a solid room that was fun to play.

An impressive looking game that showed Clue HQ are more than just a bunch of padlocks in a room. A few too many rough edges left me feeling disappointed but excited for what they might produce in the future.
