Really impressed with the level of detail which had gone into this game.  It included a couple of things I hadn't seen before, and the room was dressed very nicely and very much in line with the theme.

This pits two teams against one another in very similar challenges, which is an interesting twist.  Both teams of two (one experienced player, one newbie) finished almost simultaneously. Lots of fun.

A nice experience; a range of puzzles from quite easy to more challenging.  Something for everyone, but not miles out of the ordinary.

Played: Aug 2018 Team size: 4 Outcome: Failed :-(

This is a tough game. We didn't get out, but it's a good type of tough.

There is a puzzle near the start of this room which requires objectively the wrong answer in order to progress.  If you know how a particular board game works then you will, like us, spend 15-20 minutes checking your workings before asking for a clue.  Really disappointing.

This is one of those 'creepy' games which isn't quite as scary as you might like!  We sailed through the first two thirds of the game, then got hung up on something daft and wasted lots of time.  The room was quite well dressed, compared with some, and there had been some effort to carry the theme throughout the room.

This is one of those 'creepy' games which are never quite as scary as they could be.  We sailed through the first two thirds of this game, then got really hung up on something daft and wasted lots of time.  Enjoyable, and the dressing of the room is much better than some of their others.

Something went badly wrong with this game.  I'm still not sure whether a padlock was in the wrong place or whether it was left unlocked.  We escaped with several puzzles left uncompleted.  In fairness, we received a credit note for our spoiled game, but the game host wasn't especially interested in working out what had gone wrong.

Not having seen Game of Thrones, I didn't quite 'get' the theme until someone explained it afterwards. It was OK but nothing special.

This is a good intro-level game which we used as a first ER experience for my teenage godsons.  There was plenty to do, with a range of β€˜thinking’ and β€˜doing’ tasks.  We got out, and the boys were hooked from their first game!
