The Worst Room I Have Ever Played
This was my 78th escape room, and it was the worst I have ever done.
Story
For an undisclosed reason, you go into some guy called Brent’s room. He went crazy because of his religious mother. You have to put her ashes in their ‘rightful resting place’ in order to get out before Brent comes back.
Puzzles
Puzzles did not match the theme: they were woefully basic, and some looked out of place. The practical challenges of lifting a small weight and operating a little solar powered train proved boring and frustrating. The Game Host had to come in because the latter wasn’t working as it should.
Mise-en-scene
The room itself was sparse and scarcely decorated to suit the occult church/tomb theming referred to in the storyline.
Final Comments
‘Blackpool’s best Escape Games’ could not be further from the truth. This was a pathetic excuse of an escape room. Were it not for prolonged closures because of Covid affecting local businesses, I’d have asked for my money back. When I left this review on TripAdvisor, the manager accused me of making it up. I replied via email detailing the date and time of the booking, and stating I have no reason to upload fabrications. He’s yet to respond.
