great hosting
I was looking for a compact fun room and hit gold with Principal escape rooms. Loved the theming of mystery at the museum and some really clever puzzles. It all just made sense and we had fun playing this one. Great hosting and we did a second room after that was fabulous too. Team of two adults and a 10 year old who has done multiple rooms.
A thoroughly enjoyable game where every puzzle was logical and well thought out. A great use of space and some unique and clever elements too. Hosted wonderfully by lovely enthusiast owners. Cannot wait to play the second room!
Nice to see a new venue in Cambridgeshire! Really lovingly put together by Josh and Claire with a good attention to detail and a great mix of puzzles - definitely search heavy!
Good theming, making great use of the available space. Nice mixture of puzzles & good use of tech without being over-reliant upon it. Puzzles were non-linear and well enough signposted that we always felt that we had an idea what we were working towards without spoon-feeding. Combined with some great hosting made for a fun trip to Ely!
