Hatton Escape Rooms: Nottah Temple

Visted on our journey back from north Wales to London. We've done 4/5 rooms at the Tulleys Crawley branch so knew what to expect and had high hopes for the temple game. The game is impressive and very large (I wont say more as dont want to give spoilers)

A couple of the puzzles seemed broken too and one had a physical element which was very flawed and took up a lot of valuable time due to this.

My biggest bug bare is this room should be a 75 minute room due to its shere size and is extremely difficult as a 2. Like the Crawley branch they offered a 50% off to come and play again which considering we live 2 hours away isn't very useful for us.

The GM said we were 75% through the room and its a shame they don't offer extra time as he said we were only  around 10 - 15 minutes from completion.

Left feeling very deflated and frustrated 😞

It is with such a heavy heart that I've had to give this room a less than Excellent rating. The set was fantastic and the puzzles were mostly logical and quite varied in difficulty and type (eg, tactile puzzles, logic puzzles, math puzzles, fine and seek puzzles etc). However, the room is clearly built for larger teams. We were told at the end of the experience that we did well getting as far through as we did in the 60 mins as "teams of 2 usually don't even make it past the half way mark". A fact given to us after our game, despite us asking if it was suitable for two before booking.

As a team of two enthusiasts, we play alot of rooms "meant for bigger teams" which, when given the knowledge beforehand, we approach in a very different way. It's such a shame that we were not able to tackle this room in the way we would have wanted to, or given the choice to bring our wider team. 

In addition, we were quite clear with our games master that we were happy for clues throughout and would like to be prompted if we are falling behind time too. We received our first prompt 35mins into the game. This is unfortunately rather poor hosting for such a busy room.

That being said, the room itself was well themed and took you on a nice journey. There were only a couple of puzzles that were not 100% logical, but this did not take away from the overall experience. 

Recommended for larger groups who like active puzzles. 

A nice jungle room, with some interesting physical moments, some nice puzzles. Not too outlandish for a jungle room, I kinda feel they are all fairly similar, but this is one of the better ones ive done. 

Having a 50% off voucher thrust in your face when there is clearly only a minute or so to go left a very sour taste.

This game looks great, has some unique elements, but many of the puzzles are simple and some needed external nudges rather than better signposting.

It's worth adding if you're passing.

Excellent set design, and great value for money. These are the two things I look for most in an escape room and Nottah Temple really delivered. 

Hattons deliverying yet again, a very immersive and story driven room. Great theming and theme pbased puzzles. Lot's to do that kept the pressure on.
