Everything was logical, some outside knowledge was needed at some point (Which I am not a fan of), and the theming was pretty generic. Ok game

This is a traditional escape room but with a slightly more unique concept of solving the different elements of the crime. With multiple rooms and integrating Chester's setting into the game, this was a fun, sleuthy game which was enjoyable but not particularly challenging.

Overall this game was OK it did feel like there was a few puzzles that are a bit out of place, apart from those things we enjoy the game.

Again, a fun enough room from Breakout, but slightly dated set design and puzzles (like Vacancy). The story was a bog-standard murder mystery,  not bad just not great.

A nicely themed room with a great central puzzle the game revolves around. At times, we felt some of the puzzles didn’t flow as nicely as they could have done, but all in all it was an enjoyable game.
A decent game, but slightly outdated. Click the link to read our review!
