A room that's showing it's age. The first part being better than the second, with some rather clunky mechanics and longer more elaborate puzzles. Not a huge amount to do, but I imagine it'll be replaced soon to be brought up to the standard of the other rooms here.

This room remains one of our very favourite rooms. Puzzles were great, the physical elements were fun so much so we chose to return and play this game with our 2 children.

Parts of this game were broken and very clunky, which meant repeated entries from staff members.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Themeing in this room was more impressive that the puzzles - one that we managed to by pass entirely and one that was more difficult than it needed to be which somewhat marred what should have been a very enjoyable room. 

A lovely medieval room. Click the link to read our full review!
