beautifulgreat hostingquite difficult
The Mindworks escape rooms have great decoration and theming, and this one had some unique physical and logic challenges, which we loved. The host was engaging, both before and after the room. STRONG recommend. Room 5 for us!

value for moneygreat hostingfamily friendly
This is a family friendly excursion into the dubious world of Gin smuggling. None of the puzzles will surprise you but they are presented well and the overall theming is adequate for the story being conveyed. Our GM was Jamie who was great throughout but I don't think we troubled him too much. The overall layout is well utilised and features a great start as well.

Great room, great hosting. Some unusual quirks with the hosting at the start that we weren't sure of at first but the hosting was done in a very immersive way without being too annoying, so it worked out well and we loved it.
The room itself was full of surprises, some good unique puzzles and a fun ending.

originalclevergreat hosting
Immersive from the moment we stepped in, this game flowed flawlessly. A delightful combination of physicality and padlocks, it was a clever use of space that really demonstrated the skill of the design; a hybrid of introduction and gameplay blurred where the startline was, which was both novel and effective.

story-drivengreat hosting
This is a good solid room. I really enjoyed the hosting, theming, etc. The puzzles all worked well and gave decent variety. But we did it as a group of 5 and were done pretty quickly (even though we chose the hard level) which is the only reason I have'nt rated it higher as I felt it was over a bit too soon. I think with 3 people it would be much better and more value for money. If you have a larger group Mindworks Trapped for Cash would be much better and thats a fantastic game well worth trying!
