OWE is one of our favourite local escape room companies, and they didn't let us down for this brilliant room. The theming was absolutely on point, and there were some clever mechanics that we hadn't seen before. The Games Master was great, as has always been our experience at Other World. All in all a great room!

A fun game that caters well to the first-time player. The puzzles are accessible, with little to get you frustrated although enthusiasts may find them lacking originality. Their focus on immersion generally paid off reasonably well.
