Cave Escape: Project Iceman

This room was great fun! It's an immersive room with just the right amount of silliness. 

As you're trying to access four separate artefacts (the "weapons"), there's plenty for each member of the team to be getting on with. The four of us always had something to do, and the narrative breaks in the story provided via video were really useful for bringing us back together and providing a strong sense of progression. 

Also brilliant, was the timed challenge at the end as, even if you made it through everything else really quickly, you still had that sense that this was high-stakes. 

As always with Cave Escape, the hosting was great with just the right amount of interaction provided! 

An interesting story driven game. Hi-tech but done really well! At points we felt a bit lost with what we needed to do, but there was excellent hosting and gentle guidance. 4/4 weapons!

Fun game with a very intense ending. Great hosting, we will definitely be back to play their other 2 games . 

We absolutely loved playing this room, the story was fantastic and the puzzles were original and great to solve. Had a fantastic time.

We escaped with all 4 weapons + the better of 2 possible endings.

It was advertised as a "4D" experience, but it only had a tiny bit of smoke when we first entered the main room! It only had 1.5 rooms, and the "decontamination" nozzles didn't actually spray anything - perhaps broken?

Puzzles were mostly a decent challenge and had some variety, but nothing unique or innovative. We solved one early and the keypad flashed green, but it wouldn't give us the item because we hadn't progressed fair enough into the story yet - confusing and unfair!

One key lockbox on the wall had buttons with VERY faded numbers - the "0" looked like a smudge, and apparently the button next to "4" wasn't "5", but was in fact the "ENTER" button - it had sellotaped text on it to bodge it up - this badly needs replacing!

You are regularly stopped and forced to watch long, pre-recorded videos of bad acting (in my opinion), and the "plot twist" at the end is actually stated in their advertising leaflets out the front of the building.

It's described as futuristic, but the only futuristic elements were a plasma globe decoration and an "AI computer" that was overly-keen to give hints every minute - more could be done to push the "futuristic" theme further. Nonetheless, we enjoyed the "ice" theming and appreciate them trying to do something a bit different. Staff were pleasant enough.

Amelia was a great host. The game was super fun. Challenging at times and took a while to get into the flow of the game. But in the end we got into the rhythm of the game and it was super fun. Not quite as good as their other games but still worth including in your visit.
