It’s best played with very little expectations (though I suppose being for a while #1 in the world does come with it a certain level of expectation), so I’ll leave the review with just one final question:

It is the essence of everything that makes up an Escape Room, no other room has managed to call up this range of emotions in me and my fellow players like The Dome.
