The jungle room did actually feel like a jungle, with lots of on-theme and varied puzzles, which weren't linear. A couple of puzzles tripped us up, but the hints given were just enough to get us back on track. Our host (the owner) was very pleasant and helpful. Nice use of tech that was unobtrusive.
A couple of minor niggles with the props, and a puzzle that I thought needed an extra clue. There was also a TV for timer and hints that was out of place.
Overall, however, it all flowed very well, it was immersive, and genuinely a good room that I can recommend - I'll certainly be doing their other rooms!

Carfax "The Hunter" was a lot of fun - fairly simple puzzles but the presentation, with live avatar and GM, was really well executed. Telescape was used to great effect, and the GM fed us videos and sound effects as the game progressed. They've gone a really good job in converting their game to online play.
