great hostingit worksunoriginalquite difficult

I can highly recommend this room! Having now completed Escape Live Birmingham's traditional rooms, this was one of their best. It's very traditional, so it's a great starter room, if you're new to Escapes. It was very traditional in terms of tech too. As a team, this was one of our fastest rooms, but I don't think that's because it's the easiest. I think it was just slightly unoriginal, so we've seen a lot of similar puzzles before. That's why I think this is a great starter room. The hosting was brilliant - and we had no clues! It was lovely to have the space we required to attempt the game ourselves, and we could dictate the when we wanted clues.

A major, major plus point for us is that everything worked! It's a well kept room, which allowed us to focus on game play and no need for the GM to intervene. Perfect. 

As a team, we also prefer non-linear games, and this fit the bill.

A solid room with a decent theme but let down by some not very exciting puzzles. Worth playing if you're in the area but not one I'd travel to.
Dรฉcor as you go in is pretty good in this room. There isnโ€™t loads you can do with an office setting but what had been done worked well and it was far less sparse than in many other office escape rooms weโ€™ve been in.
