Questomatica: Arcade Invasion

The game is a very clever mix of brining in computer games to life in an escape room. The technology used and throwbacks will be welcome for people who grew up through the 90s and played video games. This is the reason it was great. The puzzles are a little confusing at times but that is only because we are so use to getting codes or finding keys in many escape rooms.

Overall the game play is brilliant you just have to change your mindset on how to plat and escape room.

Our host was lovely and helped us when needed.

Mario and Luigi has opened a bar in the real world! And now they want their friends from all the games to visit. Unfortunately someone else followed through the portal they made. Save the world from Space invaders.

Great host who could send us hints through a gameboy necklace we could put on. Loved the theme - both the bar and the games. Some cool hidden features that we really enjoyed. If you fail try and try again. 

Because we are a bit old and movement challenged, we were not so happy with the puzzles near the floor, but with a little help from our awesome GM, we made it through! So much fun and such great energy. The game room is a bit old but not so much we thought about it much. Everything worked and it was not traditional locks. 

Lots of great ideas all linked to a famous plumbing duo but let down by a lack of signposting and intermittent technological failures. Really enjoyed the quirkiness of the game and the originality of some of the puzzles.
