Fun game with quite an original concept and puzzles. Honestly we weren't expecting much from the first impressions but it ended up being an entertaining experience. 

Enjoyed the physical elements of the game especially when you first enter the room, really helped us to get in the mood and into the mindet of the kidnapped characters. 

We were stumped by a few puzzles but the Game Master was great at knowing when we needed a little help.

Very small room but theming was quite good. Although there was a large pentagram sticker on the floor which had half peeled up and curled that let it down and was a bit of a trip hazard. The briefing before the game took place inside the room in which the Game Host showed us around, which felt extremely awkward in such a small space. There were only two of us so I can't imagine what that room would have been like with a larger group. 

I can see how the tech could work really well and make the room feel magical but it was extremely faulty and the Game Host had to pause the game abruptly to come in and fix one of the final puzzles.  I understand that sometimes things break (though reading reviews this seems to be a common occurance) but there was no proper apology or attempt at playing a character (e.g. the wizard coming to fix his tools) which could have made the experience a little less jarring.  We were also warned before the game that one of the first puzzles was tempramental and that we'd have to try a few times to make it work. 

The story itself was confusing though there were some really nice concepts that if executed better would have made for an excellent room. It felt like lots of time, money and brain power had gone into the creating but maintinence had left it crumbling. 

Outside of the room, during the sign in process we were asked to sign a piece of paper covered in other peoples emails which felt like a GDPR nightmare. The cafe area upstairs seemed to have no connection at all with the escape room and looked baffled when we asked if we just go straight downstairs for our game. Team photos were taken ouside the cafe toilets of which we could hear the hand driers throughout the game. 

Good game that really put us on edge. Theming was great and I enjoyed that the clues were hidden in the decoration itself. Some clever puzzles and one particularly tricky one that had me and my partner arguing. 

Really had my heart racing at the end as we completed the final puzzle and waited to see if we'd survived.

Enjoyed that there were multiple puzzles that can be completed at once meaning we could work on different things at the same time. Also loved that little bits of knowledge/tiny details that we each picked up along the way came together in the end.
