Whilst your team of explorers were travelling through a cave you stumbled across a long abandoned mineshaft. Suddenly, tremors fill the cave and the walls begin to collapse, separating you from the rest of your team. Can you escape the mine before you run out of air, or will you be caved in?

Great concept and puzzles to go with it. The majority of the game is spent split up which is great for communication puzzles but also felt like it went on a bit too long. As always with Cluetopia, lots of fun and quirky elements to discover too.

Enjoyed the variety of puzzles in this room, though the format and scope made it quite intense for us. Quite challenging in places but nothing illogical, so definitely made us feel like we earned our escape!
Mixed feelings from this room. In general, the room was fine. I feel that some of the decor/theming could have had a bit more effort put into it to make it feel more immersive. A couple of puzzles seemed a bit odd and somewhat ‘thrown in’. Some stronger elements to the room but a couple of missed opportunities (e.g. the ending would benefit from simple sound effects as it just sort of ended). I see potential with this room as some of the puzzles have creative elements. Our GM was lovely and attentive.
We like Cluetopia rooms, really enjoyed the theming for this one. It was a little trickier in places and I’d say may be not to be tackled as a complete beginner as even I stood and looked round a bit overwhelmed for the first few minutes wondering where to start!
Definitely a room that needs good communication between your team members.
I’d like to think that we’ve played enough escape rooms to know when a room is good even if it doesn’t click with us. Chaos at Calamity Mine is a good game I’m sure of that, but it was just not the game for us.
