illogicalbroken techpoor hosting

This is an absolute disaster of a room. Makes no sense, host was shocking and would not help us at all, things don't work and the puzzles don't really fit the theme. Terrible room and the worst we have done by some distance - I have nothing good to say about it!

Room looks great, great host but one puzzle let it down where the correct match was broken and has been replaced with something that doesn’t look the same so we had to guess. Host was aware that it was very different and that the only way to complete it was to guess!

Really cool looking room, our host, India, made up for some moments where things may have not been working.

A unique escape room. The set is immersive and there are a range of puzzles and things to find. Some of the tech didn't work which stalled the game and meant that one puzzle gave us nothing. The ending to the room is excellent and very enjoyable.

A well designed room with lots to do in the space. Some of the puzzles did not work properly and the clue given by the host simply told us to do what we were visibly doing anyway. However, there were some very entertaining aspects of the room.

The room itself is beautiful with screens really making you feel under the sea. The room is quite linear so you do the puzzles in order but this was fine for us as a 2 and would be fine with kids too. Uses your eyes and ears along with general puzzles. Was generally a fun room. 

Our first time with escape hunt and was difficult to book with the blue light code. However we liked that if we returned with friends we could order drinks to the room if we wanted.

Credit where it's due the theming is brilliant. Loved the use of the screen so that we felt like we were under water. Some of the tech is broken and we were afraid to use it incase we made it worse. There are some puzzles that are fun but most of the time we spent looking around for what to do next. This was apparently the hardest room here...doesn't build me with confidence.
