Frazescapes

I went to this room for my birthday with 4 friends.

We all LOVED this experience.

There was a fun little feature right at the start which helped immerse us in the story. Once we found our flow we powered through the puzzles. This does not mean they were not difficult, there were some puzzles that require time and attention more than puzzle solving ability. There were a variety of puzzle types which required different perspectives of thinking. We took our game masters advise to split up the work load and solve multiple puzzles at one time, this helped us save a lot of time. Great multi-room set. Everything in the decoration was on theme and we really enjoyed that aspect.

Our game master Bethany was friendly and made sure we understood everything before starting as we had a couple of people in our team doing their first ever room. It was a nice compliment for her to say she didn't need to worry about giving us help as we were doing well with solving the puzzles. We lost a solid 5 minutes at the start because of one object in the room we forgot we had but after that we got into the flow of things. Wish we had realised to use the object earlier and we would have had a better time! woops!

I recommend this room! :D

A nice immersive single room escape.

Some really clever and fun puzzles that went away from the standard of solving a code through text or symbols. It was a bit more hands on and fun solving the codes.

We were doing really well as a team of two with zero hints. We would have had a really great time but we lost a good 10 to 15 minuts looking for a single key hidden in a dark corner. After finding the key everything was 'plain sailing' if you pardon the pun.

Overall this was fun!

I went with a group that hadn't played any escape rooms before but they we had a great experience!

Some good puzzles. There was so many objects in the room that a few times we forgot vital clues which we had already seen. The main 'scare' never had much effect on me as I am still aware that when playing the game it is not real and just a game but it still gave my friends a good jump. When the lights went out it gave us a shock! More fun than anything :)

Overall good fun

A fun little play at home escape game. My first play at home type game so it was a fun introduction to this type of game.

Puzzles were less cryptic and less 'outside the box thinking', they were mostly logic based or working out sequences etc but I enjoyed playing it anyway. Good way to spend a couple of hours

Very good multi-room experience. Great set.

My first ever escape room so it was a great introduction to the world of escape rooms!

I played this one a few years ago. Nicely themed room with a decent set. Easy to get immersed in the story which was a great thing!

Had to give it a lower star rating because the day we went about 3 or 4 puzzles didn't work and the game master had to keep coming into the room to fix them. Any immersion we had was instantly broken because someone had to keep coming into the room or tell us pin codes which we had already gotten right but were not working. Also we were never able to calculate a proper final time because so many things went wrong on our visit.

I am aware things need to be 'break proof' with so many people visiting all the time but one thing I remember was a clue being engraved on a metal sheet as if being a paper clue. This little detail for me breaks the illusion of the theme and immersion of the room. For me it would be better having paper, printing things on tyvek is a good way to have long lasting paper items. That's the only bad thing I could say that was within their control.

I am sure this was just one of those really unlucky days and all the problems that the room had that day will have been fixed. Great, immersive multi-room experience, some clever puzzles. Just a shame things went wrong on our visit.
