RoomEscape Stockholm: Zodiac Killer

Two of us, not super-experienced. No clues (this is a good thing) and out in 24 mins (this is not a good thing).
It was generic escape room, with generic setting and puzzles. It wasn't bad, but there was nothing of note to rave about.

Code-breaking in Cyprus

This room looked the most interesting on their website, and so when I was on holiday with family, we decided to sneak in an escape room for one of our evening's activities.

Story

Captured by a serial killer- the Zodiac- escape before he comes back and kills you. I thought he might have had ties to Cyprus, but it doesn't seem that way. So it's just your usual escape-the-mad-man game...but the madman is named.

Puzzles

Several were practical, which I liked. A couple had very tenuous links, especially one towards the end. There was nothing to suggest what two things you had to use together. That being said, it had some of the most innovative features centred around puzzles that I've ever seen in an escape room. I was incredibly impressed.

Mise-en-scène

It had a slight feel of a serial killer's lair, but it wasn't scary. He had air conditioning.

Final Comments

Running out of time on the final puzzle is always disappointing, but I am still in total awe of the clever characteristics this room utilised.

Pretty scary start if you are lame like me, but otherwise a solidly fun game from the FIAB franchise. Didn't quite get finished before the hour was up but had a good time trying, and the Miami location had been very well kitted out with memorabilia to make the vibe authentic.
