At the time of visiting this was the new escape room of nottingham and for the companys first room it is not bad. There was a part in the brief where our group was told not to reach above head height and then when we entered the room there was an object which seemed part of the game above our head height which we was told was to test if people would reach up there.
Good host very talkative. But sadly we asked for no hints or nudges before the game started unless we ask for them while in the game. The host seemed to forget this as we got a clue what felt like every 2 mins and a homer sound every 30 seconds. The homer sound was made whenever you said a thought out loud which really threw the game off as homer doesn't have anything to do with the ancient greeks. The lobby looked like a building site as well. We think there is potental for this to be a great room just some tweaks need to be made and listen to customers when they ask for no clues.
If you’re an experienced player I wouldn’t recommend.
The reception area looked like a building site for a start. All the materials and power tools being used for a future game, hopefully one we won’t be playing
The actual room started off in something that cannot be described, part office space, part Grecian ruins and part building yard. No sign posting, broken puzzles, feint markings, unfinished decor… I shan’t continue.
As for puzzles, there is nothing to say. They are on theme and for the most part had no moments that made us go “a-ha”
At the end, the owner asked for feedback but was extremely rude and confrontational, so much so that we ran up the stairs and exited the building. After playing close to 100 rooms, this has easily gone to the bottom and our whole team will endeavour to erase e experience from our memories.
Truly disappointed
