Review by Scotus0 expert
Played: 14 Oct 2023 Team size: 2 Time taken: 34:34 Outcome: Successful escape!
plainunoriginalvery easy
Like Taken Candy From a Baby
Since I was making an on-the-day booking for a team of 2, I chose Taken.
Story
Rescue your kidnapped friend(s) and escape the hostage situation.
Puzzles
On-theme, but incredibly easy. A bit of searching here, a bit of thinking there.
Mise en scene
A straightforward but immersive enough space that did the job of looking like a kidnappers’ hideout.
Final Comments
It would work fine as a beginner room. I should have been braver and booked us a 4/5-star challenge: we received 2 clues and escaped with 25:26 left on the clock.
