Clockwork Escapes Telford: Professor Clockwork’s Mind Palace

A very clever concept and with good puzzles to go with it. I hated the GM style in this game to the point where I wanted to stop playing. Every minute we’d get a chime in with some belittling comment about how rubbish we were and it just made everything so deflating.

A lot of fun! Really liked the signposting between clues, and the design and puzzles were really ingenious! And a nice touch at the end!

Nothing wrong with the set design and the puzzles but this is the second visit to this venue and I find the hosts character really grinds on me but I see others enjoy this. I preferred the Legends gold room which was a newer room but again didn't enjoy the sarcasm and abuse when receiving clues and after the game had finished. I think if this performance ended when the room was finished and you had the chance to speak to the host in a normal manner this would not be so bad. If you are easily offended or if you are having a bad day and don't want to be told you are stupid then maybe avoid this one.
