Puzzalogical Escape Rooms: Pharaoh’s Mystery

Another good room, no padlocks at all, no keys, no combinations or codes - which I find very refreshing. Everything was automated, lots of moving parts and motorised stuff, all which worked flawlessly. Good sound effects and music which all synchronised perfectly with the game. 

Some good puzzles, creative and clever tricks and elements. 

Why this venue does not have a golden padlock, I can't work out. This room and the alien encounter are both really decent. 

Solid theming which wasn't extravagant, but did the job just fine. A nice start to the room and a good tactile search puzzle early on. One later puzzle didn't work too well as the prop to solve that puzzle seemed a bit broken/wobbly, but we worked around it.  A couple of trickier bits that we needed pointing in the right direction by the host. 

One of my favourite rooms I have done! Keighley was a great host! well built room, packed with unique puzzles! 10/10 Would recommend. 

Loved this game! Unfortunately we didn't have the best experience last time we played a game at Puzzalogical but this time round was so different and all for the better. Right from our games master meeting us down in reception and having a chat about past escape experience etc I could tell we were in for a good time.

Unlike last time, our games master (Maz) actually gave us the safety briefing followed by the story introduction for the game - in full character may I add. This is also great as it gets you in the mood for whatever your mission may be.

We were also encouraged to get into character by wearing our explorer hats throughout the game! Thank you Maz for all your enthusiasm during our visit.

There were lots of different puzzles in this room and not a padlock in sight! (Another things I love about games as it tends to make them much more creative.) Many of the parts were different to other escape rooms I've previously played and the overall theming and story was super immersive from start to end. Playing as a team of 5, was a good number as some things we all did altogether but other parts we split up into smaller groups so everyone felt involved and there was lots to do in the time. I think it would be tricky as a team of 2 (depending on how experienced you were.)

We managed to successfully complete the game in 56 minutes 21 seconds and being my 58th game I feel that it had the right level of challenge without feeling too impossible.

I look forward to coming back to try Prison Break and the new game once it's ready!
