It's alright, host was very nice, but - there are some real leaps in logic and quite a few time you have 4 numbers but no real signposting to what order to put them in and a *lot* of four digit locks they could match.

Fairly scary with a few unusual mechanics and jump scares! Fairly decent theming.

We rocked up at the location of the room, which is one of two locations and entered. Obviously precautions were in place with us wearing masks and social distancing in place. As you enter the reception area there is a table with hand sanitiser and gloves. We met our host Greta who was so lovely. She explained the rules and we had just a general chat with her before being led into the room.

A review of three rooms at No Exit in Bolton. The prettiest room was too easy, the logical room felt boring and the scary room had frustrating puzzles. Not a venue I'd highly recommend although for beginners The Tomb might work well.
