Outcome: Failed 🙁

I didn't like the idea of not escaping, part of the room felt more of a old pub not a casino. I would like to point out that you can't complete the room.

A game packed full of uninspiring puzzles, a couple of which required some leaps of logic that overstepped the mark for me. You'll get close to a full hour's entertainment but I left feeling the game could have been so much more.

A twist on the normal “you need to get out” model, this game has an extra way to separate the best teams. Challenging game with a great many padlocks. Extremely friendly and attentive staff.
