Very simplistic puzzles, nothing to trick you, fairly linear.. very easy, team of 2 out in 23minutes, results in lack of value for money at £26pp.. 

Overall not a bad game, just not suited If you have any experience.. ideal for families

Wow, what a great horror room, perfect room for small groups, probably not enough going on at a time for large groups though. Really great host, lots of jump scares. The room was well decorated, very fluid. Very much a cause and effect style room meaning you're only really working on one thing at a time. Lightning is low, as would be expected from a horror, but it doesn't hinder you too much.

A lot of reading to come to own conclusion, not enough leading evidence, spent most of the time reading, not enough solving.. relatively boring

value for moneystory-drivenquite difficult

Played this a while ago, so can't remember too much about it.. some of the  puzzles were quite difficult, and the hints didn't really help explain the answers..

The game can be passed on 5 times which is a good point..  it requires an app be downloaded to be able to view and play content

Quite a fun game, difficult to use with my phone, would have been easier using a tablet, which we did play again with teenager. Really good concept using augmented reality to gain more immersion.. takes a bit of time to set up, but not complicated to do. 

You can reuse this game/pass it on which is very good for sharing with friends or family

The advents are a great idea, most puzzles only take between 2 and 10 minutes to solve, they aren't overly complex to solve, the hardest thing is to stop!

Went with a large group of 6, unfortunately there was no where near enough going on for 6 of us as each puzzle was linear, needing the previous solution. Unchallenged feeling, poor lighting made some puzzles difficult. 

Host was friendly

Fairly average room, pretty much you'd expect from this brand, minimal interaction from hosts

Amazing host, gave option of immersion level, would highly recommend full immersion, makes the clues a little more cryptic.

Room was well decorated, puzzles were logical and had plenty going on for the size of us and maybe larger groups.

Wow, such a fantastic find.. the hosts seemed to enjoy what they did, story and intro was great. Team split up to begin with, but quickly joined together, great puzzles which flowed perfectly.. unusually you're alloted 70minutes instead of the usual 60 because there's just so much to do. 

Great room in such a remote area

poor hostingplainunoriginalvery easy

Very underwhelming room, puzzles were very basic, fine for beginners but not for anyone with experience, host felt like she didn't want to be there at all. Escaped in 34 minutes as a group of 2.. which left us feeling highly disappointed there wasn't more

Great room, with a great host, such a shame its closed now.. however we have been told the host is branching out on his own, so excited to try his new room

Ridiculously simple room, the hardest part of it was the music puzzle which was near impossible if you're not a trained musician

Unfortunately we were one the first to try out this room when It opened, the puzzles were pretty good, most made sense, unfortunately some pieces of the room weren't set up correctly and 1 or 2 pieces broke/didn't work resulting in stopped playtime for resetting.

Hosting was good and I can't say for certain if the room has improved since the opening few weeks, but knowing clue hq I'm sure it will have

illogicalbroken techpoor hosting

Major let down.. tired room, enter into one room (which isn't a room) told to solve a puzzle, which we did, but no idea how, got into second room after doing the same thing 3 times, it just suddenly worked, no idea if we solved it or the host just opened the room. The second room was extremely tired, props weren't attached properly (unremoveable items were stuck down with still wet glue, resulting in getting sticky hands) some of the puzzles weren't logical and I was able to solve puzzles without actually doing the thing to solve then which confused the host, who clearly wasn't paying attention for hints because she kept repeating clues for something which had already been solved. The set was nice, if a little tired. It was a noisy room (the other horror based room was next door, with little to no soundproofing)
