An alarm sounds in the security office at Brewery Square. It’s coming from Seventh Seal, that barber come bakery shop that you’ve always had that weird feeling about.

You follow protocol and give the key holders a call but nobody answers, you leave a voicemail. You need to make sure that the building is secure and that nobody is in there, using the master key you gain entry…

Upon entry you can hear a humming noise coming from the shelving unit, you start to look around when the phone suddenly rings.

illogical

Really don’t like to leave negative reviews especially as the hosts were so lovely. The puzzles didn’t click for me as there was a lot of reaching to make things logical. Of course it might just be us. We were tired and it probably took us longer to make connections than it should have done but it left me quite unsatisfied. I’ve given it an extra star as my other half thinks I’m being harsh.

story-drivengreat hosting😨creepy

Fun, satisfying puzzles in a pretty well-themed room. Requires a bit of stooping down for some parts. Each solution unique to the next. The room was designed well, but could be more inmersive!

We found the host really delightful and welcoming, and gave us the option of how to receive clues if any. We chose to get clues only if we asked for them, which left us time to solve things ourselves.

Enjoyed overall! Can't wait to see more from them!
