Pretty good room, enjoyed it apart from one dexterity puzzle towards the end of the game which was a struggle, but we were able to bypass it! Gm at puzzlescape is always nice and friendly!

"Sleight of Hand" is a fitting name for the room. I enjoyed it and felt it was well produced, and although it wasn't massively original, everything it did, it did well and had a good variety of puzzles.

There is one very difficult dexterity puzzle towards the end, which after 5 mins of failing to succeed, we were allowed to bypass with a verbal riddle. I'm not keen on this type of puzzle but as there was a bypass I don't really mind.

The host was friendly and welcoming and a good GM.

Nice little room with range of types of puzzle. Great hosting. Diamond room a bit more original but good value for money and an hour nonetheless.
