Jack Travis is a famous adventurer and archaeologist. He explored Africa recently and came back with a lot of rare and expensive artifacts. He mysteriously disappeared from Bristol, but some say he left a lot of clues in his warehouse that can lead you to a rare diamond. He stole it from Africa and donated it to be a part of the crown jewels. He disappeared from Bristol and the diamond is still in the warehouse. If you are brave enough and you want to join a real adventure, come and try this room.

Appalling zero-effort theming, totally forgettable game.

The decor of this room was a bit sparse and basic but it's a relatively cheap room so that's to be expected.  There were some good puzzles (I remember a particularly good ending) but there was also a puzzle I consider to be broken.  I picked up an object to examine it on entering the second room but it turned out that the position of it was important and there was no way to tell what that position was once I'd picked the object up. But other than that an enjoyable room.

Very poorly decorated room with average puzzles. Some of which lacked logic and need guidance from the game master. A fun surprising conclusion but otherwise the worst room I've experienced from Puzzlair.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Puzzlair do old-school escape rooms - by which I mean this room was a long sequence of padlocks. But if that sounds like lazy design, it's not, at least in this case. The decor is stripped down but on-theme, and the puzzles are varied and satisfying.

The company is venerable by the standards of UK escape rooms, and I got the impression they have it down to a fine art. Looking at past teams' times written on their reception area walls, there seemed to be surprisingly many who got out with second...
