We liked the teams working together, but overall puzzles weren't great.

I loved the premise of this game and it started off in a different way which make it even more exciting.

I can imagine it would be a challenge for a bigger group.

quite difficult

This was my second room and as a 2 the separating element really bothered me. I had no idea what to do or look for and it ruined it for me. I hope if I return to Chester, and it’s still open, I could enjoy it more

quite difficult

I can imagine this game being better for enthusiasts than first timers. I played this in my early escape room days along with my wife who had never played. It just wasn't enjoyable due to the separation. Theming was brilliant however

Didn't care for the game. The first part of the game was good, however the rest of the game was a little lacklustre for me.

Played ampitheater with a team of four, with two people being experienced in two people never playing before, which became quite frustrating as we were split up like that. 

Overall we really enjoyed the game but did find a few puzzles frustrating, you can clearly see that this is one of escapisms older games as their newer games have a much higher standard of quality.

Reviews by escape room review sites

A review of four games we played in mid-2017 at Escapism and Breakout in Chester and Clue HQ Warrington. Dungeon of Doom and Teleporter were both solid games while Amphitheatre and Disturbed paled in comparison.
A decent Roman adventure in the heart of Chester. Click the link to read our full review!
