The Panic Room Harlow: Return to the Tomb

This game has the potential to be a great game but a few issues made it almost unplayable for our group. The theming is great and at times I really felt like I was inside an ancient tomb but some of the puzzles were too frustrating, or illogical. The worst thing of all, doing it in a 2 we only got given 1 torch - no idea why, if you’re already at a disadvantage, the makers of this game decide they need to make it even harder for you - makes no sense to me. Having middle aged eyesight and at times no torch made things impossible for me to see and the physical nature of the room meant that passing the torch between us was not something we could do easily. Afterwards, the host proudly told us that there are certain things that people always need help with - in my mind this should signal that there is a problem with these puzzles that should be addressed rather than just giving people help every time. One of the most frustrating games we have played because it does have a lot of potential.

Absolutely flawless room for me. One of the most immersive rooms I have ever done, starting in a market and working your way through from there. Incredible theming, absolutely incredible. Great hosting. Great puzzles. Top notch. This room was my first 5 star award. 

As suggested by other reviewers, take the advice of wearing the knee pads as there is genuinely a lot of crawling! Really enjoyed the sense of adventure in this game tied up with fun, in theme puzzles. The geeky escape lover that I am also really loved seeing a type of lock that I hadn't used before! This and Carnevil are my favourites at Panic Room Harlow.

Don't wear shorts! The knee pads (essential) you are given are not comfortable after some time, but this is not a criticism of the game.
Expansive set, beautiful props. Only let down by a laborious counting puzzle that needs regular radioing with the GM with "am I correct yet?". 

This is the best game at the venue it's pretty good, heed the GMs advice when he tells you to put kneepads on as there is a lot of crawling and there is more than the usual degree of physicality to this game.  Puzzles are mostly solid but there is one counting puzzle that we had to repeat several times as some choices were (I feel) unnecessarily ambiguous.  Overall this is a fun game worth your time.

We really, really enjoyed this game. Right level of difficulty for two experienced players, some unique puzzles and great use of space and a visually pleasing set and enthusiastic host
