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.
