Agent Maxwell, our undercover operative, has gone missing. We’ve managed to track his last location to ‘Ali’s Barbers’, a barbershop on the outskirts of town, but can find no trace of him since. Our best agent has vanished into thin air and we need you to find him! Infiltrate the barbershop, find out what happened to Agent Maxwell, and complete his mission. Good luck agents, we’re counting on you.

Solid room but nothing spectacular. Played well enough though and it all made sense which was nice. Little unsure how the barbershop fitted the rest of the theme but hey ho!? Was fairly easy so I would'nt want to do it with a big group if you knew what you were doing. Nice friendly GM.

Our GM (Georgia) was fantastic, and this game flowed really well. It didn't feel simple, but everything was very logical. We liked that getting 3 of the 6 codes still counted as an escape, allowing for less confident teams to still be able to escape.

Love that there are different levels of challenge for this - completing half the options classes as a succes, but more experienced teams can go for 100% completion. We managed to finish the basic requirements in just short of 30 mins, 100% in just over 50mins.
Kids (10 and 8) enjoyed this one, plenty for them to do and be part of.

A nice room, very well maintained, some nice automated stuff and technology, and some nice surprises. The puzzles were very logical and well signposted, we finished this witihout a single clue in 48 minutes. Im not sure if it was easy or if it was just so logical that it flowed easily. It felt challenging, had a good time.
Great sense of development as you progress through this game and a few lovely surprises as well. We really enjoyed how creative some of the puzzles felt and they really utilised props from the theme perfectly. The only downside for me was that some of the latter spaces didn’t have as much of a wow factor in terms of set even though the puzzles were still good.
Initially entering the room I felt the room was a bit basic, but what a surprise I was in for! Very good room with lots of development and very clever clues. Paradox rooms tend to have a ban on red herrings, so everything you see is there for a reason....
