Some bits were confusing. One bit we knew exactly what we needed to do, but took forever to do it and were becoming frustrated because we couldn’t reach! Only just made it out! We all had fun

Perfectly good game. A couple of clues left us a little confused even after we solved them. Would recommend for beginners and team building sessions.

story-driven
We had a nice time in this room. Some good puzzles that I still remember today. Story was the focus which was nice and we enjoyed the setting too.

Parallax was the third of their rooms I'd tried, and it followed the style of their others: a strictly...
