Review by Arjay Henshall expert

Rated between 30 and 30 out of 5
Played: 12/08/2019 Team size: 2 Time taken: 27.20 Outcome: Successful escape!

Venue: the outside of the building had plenty of signage so you knew where you going, unlike some that is just a doorway in amongst a crowded area. The waiting area was spacious and felt really relaxed. They even have a map on the wall to put a pin in to say where you’ve cone from which is a really nice touch and there were flags from all over the world the GM had a jug of water waiting to give us refreshments on arrival which was also a really nice touch

Room: A typical office based scenario where the scenario kept up with the objective of the game. Don’t expect anything spectacular or different in this room however. If you’ve played escape rooms before, you’re likely to have come across most of these puzzles, however, everything was well signposted and no need for leaps of logic. 

Despite us flying through the room, we had a great time in there and there was plenty to do. For a team that’s only done a few rooms, it may be challenging 

Overall, it was a great room by an independent GM and worth giving a go if you’re ever passing by
