value for moneyoriginalgreat hosting

We've done a lot of rooms and this one is fairly unusual in that it's a searching/hidden objects -heavy room. We enjoyed it and got out in good time - there were plenty of "aha" moments as we kept unwrapping layers of item of putting pieces together.

The GM was lovely and gave just the right level of nudging when we got stuck without giving the answer away, which is a skill we appreciate.

Lovely hosting, slightly cheaper build, but creative and achievable with a couple of really nice tools and original ideas. Our first room ever but we’d still enjoy it now having done a lot more rooms since! Good value for money.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Based in Dereham, Norfolk, this room is somewhat off the beaten path, and turned out to have been set up by a father and son who discovered escape games and decided to build their own.

As you might guess it's a relatively low-tech, low-budget build with plenty of padlocks - although does incorporate at least one auto-working mechanism. The theming is minimal, and although your target is a diamond you shouldn't expect a bank vault look and feel. Rather, it's a period feel with some really rather...

An OK game that was spoiled for me by some overly difficult searching. If that's what you're in to then definitely give it a go but for most people I think it will be frustrating.
I always feel kind of warm and fuzzy towards Puzzlescape, because it has become a newly-minted post-Christmas tradition, full of holiday spirit and party vibe.
