This room is a good solid game.  Theres lots to do and a good variety of tasks to do in the 17 puzzles.  Some are very easy and some really tough but they are all quite different to each other.  Good story and theming throughout.  Its not linear so you can all break up and work on your own little bits and if you get stuck, just try another puzzle.

I like the fact that you can split into 2 groups and play head to head which I think would work fine with 3 or 4 per team.  But its a shame that you will each easily hear each other so I guess one group will get hints from the other group.  But its a good concept.

I am a bit disappointed by the way the venue is run though.  We could clearly hear our gamesmaster briefing and running another game whilst we were playing.  We have done many rooms so are farily self sufficient but if you are new to it and struggle you want a gamesmaster that is playing full attention.  Its also generally quite a noisy venue, you hear reception and the other games in this room which I have never really experienced before and is a bit offputting.  The main item used for every puzzle of this game also has a broken switch which is annoying as its used to every answer you get and surely something as simple as that should be working 100%.

Plus apparently there is a hard version and normal level but I did'nt see anything about that during booking or briefing so not sure why thats not more mentioned if there is a choice?

Its a good game but has potential to be much better, just seemed like its a bit run like a chain rather by enthusiasts..
