Absolutely loved it. Theming was spot on and game play was so much fun
Brilliantly witty and very much in-keeping with the film. Not a difficult game but plenty of fun features that left us smiling throughout.
Was I too hard on this game? I really enjoyed Advent Alley that it replaced, that was a wonderful collection game and I'd hoped to return to play the puzzles I'd missed out on first time round.
I'm not a huge Home Alone fan, I only watched the film for the first time relatively recently so I had some idea what this game may be about but I wasn't really sure.
This is a fun game, make no mistake, I enjoyed this. Like Survival I played earlier, there's all kinds of nods and winks to the film its based on but all in a respectful yet playful way. You are basically alone in the house and the bandits are on their way, you have to find and set traps for them. You find traps by solving puzzles and then you have to place the traps...
I think this approach for a Christmas game is unique and well handled, I may have preferred Advent Alley but this is really, really good.
Such a wonderful fun game, perfect escape room theme for Christmas and so unique
It's a fantastic room, brilliantly themed and decorated with fun puzzles and a great ending. Amazing hosting as always. My only disappointment was that we got out in under 30 minutes, and I wanted more puzzles!
This hits the nostalgia itch perfectly, the hosting (Charlotte) was simply fantastic, the puzzles were brilliantly themed. We had so much fun. You'll definately want to add this to your Christmas list.
A very fun escape room with a unique theme and exciting ending!
A brilliantly nostalgic room. Great fun as a two, but it would work well for larger teams too.
A really nice mix of linear and non-linear gameplay, with lots of fun elements throughout.
