Escape From OzEnigma Live Escape RoomsEscape roomIRL⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ What a game! Even after playing this game over a week ago, I am still buzzing with excitement thinking back on the experience as a whole! As soon as we entered the building we were greeted by such a fun and friendly GM who really welcomed us. From that moment, I knew we were in good hands. The room set itself is an absolute must-see! No detail has been spared and every prop has been carefully thought out. Enigma have hit every mark with this build and it’s obvious a lot of love and time has been sunk into this project. Even every little yellow brick in the road! There was a good mix of difficulty with the puzzles and, even though we did struggle with some, the clues we received gave us just enough information to solve it on our own terms. There are no leaps in logic and everything seems to flow together seamlessly. Overall, this is easily a 5 star experience and I would highly recommend this room to anyone - to escape enthusiasts and novices alike!
EdithUnescapableEscape roomIRL⭐️⭐️ Sad to say, I’m a little disappointed by our experience with Edith. I was led to believe this would be a full on, intense horror experience with live actors and jump scares. Which never occurred. Now, I’m not good with scary things but I want to be able to fully experience an immersive room. Granted, I was scared upon entry to the room (as the hype had built it up so much) but this quickly faded. The main scares came from cutting the lights and (I assume) our GM banging on doors. Underwhelming, really. The puzzles were relatively easy, no real challenge. At one point we seemed to have progressed too quickly, so our GM led us to a different space only for us to have already solved the puzzle we needed, effectively wasting around 5 minutes of our time. As a team who regularly play rooms, maybe we were working quickly as we have grown used to such game mechanics. But after completing Edith in under half an hour has left a somewhat sour taste - doesn’t feel worth the price. That being said, we did get a record time and our host was absolutely lovely. He could see I was panicking before entering the room and reassured me that I’d be fine. Clearly very passionate about his work and was happy to explain things we worked through so quickly that other party members missed. All in all, a somewhat disappointing experience with a lovely host.
