This game was fab! We really enjoyed the theme and all the puzzles were original. 

Only downside is that the host was trying to over immerse himself into the role to the point where I questioned if he actually thought he lived in the 1900’s. At first his character was funny but towards the end I just wanted him to speak normally as it was annoying

Such potential to be an amazing room, however so many let downs with a poor ending rated this down

Definitely the pick of the 2 rooms! The game kicked off with great hosting and a unique entry. The puzzles flow well and immerse you into the world of Harry Houdini. The downside for us however, was that it was too short and the ending was a little flat, instead feeling like it should be the midpoint transition into another space.

A great opening and a non-linear series of logic and physical puzzles will challenge you but this is a fun room that I had a great time in.  The space is limited but used well and there are some challenging ideas going on here.

Fun room with some interesting puzzles. The girl who hosted us was good and she got in the spirit of the game that was nice.Puzzles weren't difficult so good for new people to escape rooms.

A couple of cool moments early on, but definitely some logic leaps - moments that require the game master to tell you what to do that they've refused to fix!

Some nice theming including an impressive looking centerpiece. Overall experience visiting the venue a bit lacking.
