Typical Escapologist game, I would say it's probably their best game. The build in one room is nice, the other it's a bit meh. 

Placement puzzles don't work, had to be told to pick something up, and place it back down again for it to use... also use of Disney songs & Disney imagery within the room, and an image on the clue screen that clearly hadn't been paid for...

The set was really good in one part of the game and average in the other.The problem with this game was the broken tech. There are clues preprogrammed to ask you to re-seat set pieces as they were not triggering when put in to place. If you have a have a clue to ask people to pick stuff up and put down, its broken enough to get it fixed.Asked for clues but waiting to get them.There was a few red herrings that seemed on purposed and in places the game wasnt very logical or flowed well. Also you did certain things, heard a twinkle, but it wasnt clear what the result was.All that said, i thought the game was ok. Set design in one area was reallt nice. The hosts were ok. No love for the games, just a job kind of feel, which i guess is fine, but we are so used to poeple really loving what they do.I thought it was exspensive for what it was. More exspensive than others we have played for a lot less.If you are in the area and stuck for somehting to do, then sure, its worth a play.

We stalled a few times due to broken tech or the host not being attentive/ delivering clues that weren't accurate for where we were e.g. clues to puzzles already solved. Wouldn't recommend or rush to do another by the company

This was okay, and probably their best room. 

If you want to be completely kept in the dark about the logistics of the room... stop reading here. 

Otherwise, be advised that you are split up for the whole game, so playing as a team of two doesn't make for the best experience,
