Oh my, where to even start?! This room is complete puzzle chaos, in the absolute best way! From the first second, it's all systems go, and you don't stop until that timer runs out! The theming was perfect, our GM (Thomas) was great, and it was such a fun room! We loved it, and we're so glad it was our #100 :)

We weren't able to complete this due to time constraints. The website is a bit misleading, suggesting that it can be done in 3-4 hours, including the breaks. We had 3 hours to complete it, and skipped all of the breaks because of that. We still weren't able to complete it in time before having to go to our next activity. So it's worth being aware - this is 4 hours of effort, not including breaks. If you want to take breaks, then make sure you allow yourself 5-6 hours for this activity.

Other than that, it was pretty good, although we had a few technical difficulties with a few of our phones, and any lack of signal causes a delay.

This room was visually incredible, the theming was consistent throughout, and we found the mix of puzzles to be really varied and fun. There were several moments where we gasped, and some really lovely small details that really tied it all together. Really, the only downside for us was that it was more pricey than other Belgian rooms we've done that were of a similar (and in a few cases, higher) quality.

We booked this room so that we could try one of their escape rooms and one of their escape experiences. It started off very well themed, with a strong story, but it trailed off the further through the room that we got. We did enjoy the fact that there were three golden coins to find within the room, which could be used in a claw machine afterwards to possibly win a prize.

Considering we were a group of 5 enthusiasts, this room really kept us busy until the final second. There were some incredibly clever puzzles along the way, which we loved, but might be pretty tricky for beginner escapers.

Normally when a GM talks a lot about not using many padlocks, it often means the room falls short. That's not the case with this room at all! It has a jungle / Indiana Jones theme, with a small footprint, absolutely packed to the brim with puzzles! It was quite overwhelming, but in the best way possible. We loved this room, and it's now one that we recommend to everyone that we can!

Solve 4 major puzzles (made of lots of smaller puzzles) to escape, but you can continue and do the 8 major puzzles for full completion (we got all 8).

Absolutely stunning theming, fantastic puzzles, and honestly, it's the same quality as some of the best games in Europe! The dragon was absolute perfection, and we loved the differing themed hint systems that are in place. Can't recommend it enough!

The GM / host was absolutely the highlight of this room! That's not to say anything negative about the room - the hosting was simply on another level! The room itself was beautifully themed, though it did feel like the story was prioritised over the puzzles a little. We really enjoyed the interaction with the host throughout the room, not just for the briefing.

What. A. Room!! Our GM, Charlie, met us in character, and that character did not break until we'd escaped (and once we'd escaped, Charlie was charming and friendly, clearly an enthusiast himself). Wonderful puzzles, a really fun hint system, and a strong need for good teamwork and communication. This game was so unique, so beautifully themed, and had such a clever use of space.

We were excited at the idea of having a difficulty level determining which manual you get during the room. However, it felt very disjointed. We did Advanced difficulty, which is apparently for people who've done more than 5 escape rooms. Even though we've done more than 50 rooms, we didn't want to do the Genius level as there was just two of us.

The manual was confusing and complicated, and left us looking for 'a thing that looks like what the manual says', rather than actually feeling like we were solving puzzles.

We weren't given many hints (which is stated in the description of the difficulty levels), but then in the final 2 minutes we were given so many hints that we couldn't do anything with them.

Wonderful theming, a fantastic GM (Savannah), and really fun puzzles! It was a bit small at times, so that's worth being aware of for larger groups.
