Stelven

Came out with a smiles on our faces, a very fun room. We managed to blitz through the room and finish in a very fast time, but did not feel short-changed: the puzzles were engaging and varied enough for a team of 4 to never be bored. Pacing for our team was very high throughout - could do with a final finale to slow things down and bring the team together at the end. The atmosphere of the game was okay, but could be improved with some special effects.

We finished the room, and thought 'is that it?'. Finished in under 30 minutes, and played with 3 players who were new to escape rooms. Felt like a very 'cookie cutter' room, where certain cabinets and items are part of the game, but the room isn't very cohesive as a whole. Hosting was friendly, but not very attentive at all - I got the impression that multiple games were being hosted by one gamemaster.

Frantic. Lots of wordy and numbery puzzles, but not many physical/prop based or finding things type puzzles. A fun room, but not the best ever.

One of a kind concept for an escape room, with incredible execution and great puzzles throughout. The twist is amazing! We experienced no technical problems on our attempt.
The best room that I've completed to date. Hats off to Escapologic Nottingham!

There's some great puzzles, and interesting tech in this room, with all the electronic elements (puzzles, lighting, props) being very well executed.

However, the room is let down by the poor craftsmanship on the physical elements of the room (the set, props, decoration), which takes away from the theming and immersion of the room. This results in a room with some great storytelling and mechanics, but doesn't provide the escapism (pun not intended) that I like to find in an escape room.

This wouldn't be my first choice for a room to complete in Reading, and my experiences at Escape Reading far surpassed this room at Deadlocked.
