We do appreciate a good challenge and this really provided it, as to get all eight runes, we really had to work the grey matter in a different way. The build is excellent and no space is wasted in this inventive game that is packed with things to do. It's a real 'think outside the box' type of game, with just enough signposting to keep you going but not enough to have you running around at pace, solving puzzle after puzzle. We really loved the challenge and loved that there was enough to keep the two of us working hard for a good 50 minutes. The puzzle design is so well-crafted - another excellent room from Escape Nation.

This is a really good game. We didn’t escape and really needed our team of five for this room. Lots and lots of puzzles, barely a padlock in sight. This is a difficult game and would suit experienced players or a bigger team. Loved the original and clever puzzles. Great hosting as always from Escape Nation.

We've enjoyed the other games at Escape Nation and were looking forward to their newest game. Fantastic use of technology and an interesting variety of (sometimes challenging) puzzles. 

We found all 8 and had a great experience in this well-built, interesting room.

Found all 8 and no hints! 

We loved this game. We don't normally play as a 5 any more, but this room had plenty of space and activities to keep us all engaged.

Can't wait for the next room to be released!

Aabsolutely loved this game. Our fist time venturing to the west midlands for a room and it did not disappoint. There are plenty of puzzles to keep you going and the theme was great. Our hosts were fantastic too. We will definitely be back to try the other games
