Everything you'd expect from Hounds - theatrical, OTT and funny. GM was brilliant and in-character the whole time. Even included our little team mascot in their interactions (I'm sure they don't talk to a frog plushie every day !)

A good range of puzzles, nothing too taxing. There's a fair amount to do but I would say 3/4 is a good team size for this game - 5 felt a little crowded at some points, i would not want to play this game as a 6. 

Not a fan of the new briefing system at hounds but i'll let that slide for the rooms :) 

What an introduction to Mindworks! Fogg was a brilliant host/GM and was perfect in his analysis of our team, and thus pitched his briefing just right (this is the first room I've taken over the briefing at one point (as a GM myself) and Fogg took a seat as if he was part of the team. It's the small touches ;) ).

Room wise all the puzzles flowed nicely with good signposting. We overcomplicated a couple of things but some.... tactical clueing from Fogg (or perhaps a rouge gust of wind.. inside) came at just the right time to keep us moving along, on something we would have otherwise spent a wee bit of time on... .

Would have been good to have some sort of note-taking device for this room, though for the theme of the room perhaps harder to fit in. 

Well worth a trip down to the coast!

Game number two of the day and it smashed expectations.  Brilliantly designed such that you always have something to do, and from the information given to us by Jamie, it's rare a team will get through everything available in the room. 3 felt like a good number, but an extra pair of eyes would not have gone amiss. Everything was signposted just the right amount, and the story felt a part of the room in terms of the puzzles. 

Jamie was a brilliant producer of the show, and more than did justice to the show with his suit jacket (if you know, you know).
