After King Arthur fell at the battle of Camlann, England was thrust into a century of darkness. His legendary sword, Excalibur, was lost and the valiant Knights of the Round Table dispersed.
In the darkness, the Order of the Sword was formed, a band of good and just Knights. Together you must search the ruins of Camelot, draw Excalibur from the stone, and restore England’s glory. Knights, you have one hour to complete your mission and prove your worth.

Here we have a typical Escape Hunt experience gone wrong. During the briefing, the games master was overly enthusiastic, even revealing the number of rooms in the game, which immediately took away any element of surprise.
The game had only been running for four weeks when we played, but props and puzzles were already broken. One puzzle made no sense at all, and the games master wasn’t sure how it worked either. They overrode multiple elements of the game, which impacted the flow. It was clear the games master needed more training, as many of the clues were incorrect—saying one thing but meaning another.
To make matters worse, one of the puzzles was just a copy-paste job from their western-themed game. It’s a shame because the first half of the game started off promising, but it quickly went downhill from there. Overall, a frustrating and poorly executed experience.
Our 3rd Escape Hunt venue visited. This was one of the good ones, the room is relatively new to the site.
Complete Escape Hunt rubbish. The GM was clearly not paying attention, multiple puzzles were solved correctly with more than pregnant pause before anything happened (close to 10 mins). Illogical puzzles, broken tech.
Broken maglocks leading to pulling puzzles off before they were meant to be unlocked and this was NOT with force.
The only redeeming factor was the set was okay.
Do not play.
