Escape Reading: Ram Raid

I did not expect to love this as much as I did - this is probably threatening to be my favourite room! 

What I really like about this room is that the effort taken into putting the set together is really clear to see. It's not uber detailed - it's not trying to shower you in huge amounts of props and colour. It's thoughtful and considered, and it makes it very immersive. 

The puzzles are brilliant - there's a fair amount of them to do and they are varied but they are rewarding and pleasingly non-linear. The flow is great and I was buzzing by the end. 

It made me very happy to see a room that makes good use of music. I have been disappointed as of late with the sheer amount of silent rooms in the UK recently. Sound is so important to immersion and energy, and this room knows it. Admittedly it is mostly pop tunes, but there are some really fun switch-ups and also certain tracks play where the lyrics are relevant to what stage of the game you are in. I really enjoyed the last one that was played when you need to escape! 

A few minor niggles were that it is showing it's age and needs a bit of TLC. It sort of fits with the theme but it is overdue a little. Didn't matter much at all but was a little noticeable. Also we were waiting a while for the room to be reset and a couple of the puzzles were having technical issues. These things happen I guess - nevertheless our host was great and was doing a stellar job - he managed to get the puzzles back and up running in good time while giving us a bit extra time to compensate.

Just really clever and an absolute blast from start to finish. A real enthusiasts joy! 

Great bank robbery style game which you have 60mins to get as much money as you possible can back in to the van you come in before the police turn up 

Some Great puzzles and ideas in this game very enjoyable 

Great host even explained all the things we missed at the end 

Recommend good fun 

We enjoyed this escape room; we thought it was original, and the layout was great! We liked that puzzles crossed over back into areas you had been in before. 

Aster was a good host and helped get us all set to rob the bank! We found it an original room and we all had so much fun doing it. 

However, it's worth noting that it's an escape room where you accumulate points/money (aiming to collect all the possible cash in the bank) and have until the end of the 60 minutes to do so. 

This is one of the escape rooms that you always succeed which some people enjoy although we prefer escape rather than a changeable prize pot.  

All that said it’s a really fun room really well done with many many puzzles to solve and lots for any team to get on with.  Very enjoyable.
