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

Great staff and a great puzzle!  Took too long on one of the tasks, resulting in timing out.  Would recommend this more for experienced "escapers" who know what too look for (I was the only first-timer on our team).  Great fun and would definitely recommend.

This was a nice room - well themed and with a range of puzzles. Some of our team hadn’t played an ER before but are big video game players so had no problem with the puzzle solving elements. There was one puzzle that seemed to require long arms but maybe we missed something to make it easier? Overall good fun!

We won't waste your time rewording something that already exists, as Toby in the EtR pro review below has hit the nail on the head.

Parallax is a perfectly acceptable game, but I wouldn’t necessarily  recommend enthusiasts playing it at Center Parcs simply due to the price

In enthusiast discussions, Locked In A Room is a company that rarely gets mentioned, and for good reason: enthusiasts are absolutely not their target audience. Their high-capacity branches with multiple copies of each game room are set up above all for corporate outings, and their games fall into that middle ground where they're not notably atrocious nor sufficiently high quality to stand out.

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