The second room we played at LevelUp, there's a few options you can select when booking and we went for the Pro mode with Enhanced Theatrics. I'm often concerned that games with multiple difficulty levels can leave behind red herrings of clues for different modes but this game dealt with it well, I was never led astray. 

In both the rooms we played I enjoyed how there were some subtle nudges to point you in the right direction by way of lighting changes or gentle audio cues. It's something I've seen lots of places ignore but when done correctly, as they've done here, it just makes the game flow nicely (it also stops our ego's from being hurt by needing a more obvious clue!).

This room was all about the theatrics with a lovely set design and some pretty clever tech leading to some jumpscares that really got us, although we were asking for it after booking Enhanced Theatrics! Less padlock orientated than the other game we played with some varied methods for entering codes which I enjoy.
