broken techpoor hosting
Was hoping to really enjoy this game after it was so highly rated, unfortunately it was complete opposite.
At multiple instances we were disappointed..At 3 points we were literally told by the host "sorry guys, just serving at the bar so I haven't been watching" 🙃 when asking for a clue, absolutely diabolical.
Tech (or button pressing) didn't happen in a timely fashion and lead to moments of frustration as were told to go back "and try again" and suddenly the item now worked.
We also skipped the end of the game (due to tech malfunctioning), and when asked about it, the host was clearly on damage control.
We were offered a discount as we had problems - turns out this was just the returning discount that everyone is offered, which felt like a kick in the teeth.
The cherry on the cake was the host asking for a positive review on TripAdvisor....

A great, hulking behemoth of a game, we left this - their trickiest room - as our final game before we have the whole Tulley's set. It's a whopper and we indulged in the luxury of an additional 30 minutes so that we could take the time to admire the awesome set.It's a creepy game with the odd jumpscare, the number of which really depends on your GM. We had Tyler, who was a great judge of the gameplay.There is a stack load to do so we did need that additional stash of time (although I spent a lot of time flapping around, which definitely wasted 10 minutes).A great challenge for enthusiasts.

Always great to see a new venue closer to home so was excited to try this one. A little trouble finding it originally due to post code and sat nav not quite matching up. The waiting area was very much in theme and a very friendly welcome with some sweets was much appreciated. The room was good fun and some nice puzzles, one had our group stumped for some time but what stood out was the attention to detail with the theming of the room and waiting area. It is very much a WW2 themed business with lots of little original props and nice touches to remind you of this throughout. Overall a good first room and look forward to what comes next with the 2 more planned rooms in the future.

My favourite at home game. There was so much going on in this game and the length was perfect. A few pieces were a little fragile and we struggled to solve it without destroying the props but overall I would recommend this to anyone. I loved the way the world expanded as you played.
