The game has a reasonably interesting setting of being closed in a box for the whole time, however, that is where the originality, thrill or value ends. The storyline is poor, there are just a few uninteresting puzzles that are of a value of 10 minutes in a standard escape room. It is technologically poorly done, with an overall estimated cost of about 200 pounds max. There is a problem with hearing the partner and there is a very basic kindergarten type of puzzle for the last 15 minutes which you have to solve on the iPad - this is a big de-escalation. Overall, the escape 'room' contains just a few poorly designed puzzles and despite getting it with a 70%-off offer, it was still not worth the money. Would not recommend it.
