This is the second plane escape room I've played, and it suffers in comparison to the other, which was on a real-life plane. That said, one particular piece of tech made this one slightly more immersive, and it is the only reason I've bumped this up to 3.5 stars, as the puzzles themselves were, unfortunately, disappointing. 

There are definitely some fun moments, but I must admit I was looking for a bit more - the ending, for example, is a bit odd; I thought we would have something else to do to properly "escape", but we just ended up in the corridor having clearly finished. The story itself didn't make a lot of sense, although I don't think it would take much to make it make As my partner said to me, it did feel like all the Dark Masters rooms were two-thirds of an escape room and al the ones we did seemed to all miss proper endings.

Without the incredible set this would have been a 3.5 star game. Unfortunately a lot of the gameplay relies on searching and finding which was slightly disappointing as we prefer to solve actual puzzles. That being said, the set was really impressive and our GM was lovely.

An amazingly well put together room, surprisingly realistic and the motion was entirely unexpected and very impressive (they do warn you about this before you go in). A lot of searching and a lot of stuff to piece together. I didn't feel the story was particularly strong, in fact, I cant even remember what the story was, but there is plenty to remember about the game. Well worth doing.

I didn’t even notice the joke in the game’s name until the intro began, but if you’re quicker on the uptake then you’ll have guessed that the setting for One Wing is the most budget of airlines. While the in-world plane may be budget, the game itself certainly isn’t - DarkMaster have developed a reputation for their impressive set designs.

In this instance the technology is most vividly on display early on, setting the scene with some dramatic and entertaining effects. Impressive though that wa...

For us, there was a bit too much going on in this game which meant we couldn’t focus on what we needed and ended up missing key things. DarkMaster are certainly up there with the best for their set design, but I think the puzzles left us wanting a bit more.

I didn’t expect to feel faintly airsick while firmly at ground level in a warehouse in Crowborough. But the level of detail DarkMaster has managed to manifest is astonishing

A traditional escape room that is delivered in a flawlessly immersive setting. One of the funniest rooms we have played thanks to the absolutely brilliant flight motion simulator.
