Adams review of this game is exactly how I felt when playing.  Take this as an experience and you’ll get a lot more out of it. It seems as though so much time, effort and money went into making this look beautiful that the puzzles were left behind somewhat. I wouldn't consider this an escape room, but a hybrid of immersive theatre meets video game. It felt like we were walking through a game, we had been told my another GM at Alien to ensure we spend lots of time in the game exploring as much as possible. We got to see & experience all of the extra bits that weren't necessary to the gameplay, this world building was incredible. Though the other players wanted to power through (as you would in any escape room to get a good time), i had to strongly convince them to let us see it all, i was so glad I did.  The end of the game was a bit of a let down due to the janky props and cheesy nature, albeit fun, it was too much of a contrast to the rest of the game. Host/actor was great! Loved the interactions. Also; bring a change of clothes and some wipes. You will get covered in dust/chalk and may have pen you wipe off of your skin.

You step IMMEDIATELY into this game. So please, unlike me, make sure you use the bathroom before turning up. You do not see a human until the end of the game.  Excluding my very full bladder, this game was a beautiful, fulfilling experience. The puzzles, the set design, the sheer size, scale and detail *chefs kiss*.  You must play this game when in Barcelona, its ranking up there in my overall top 5. It was executed to such a high standard, no part of the game felt out of place (apart from the toilet, when i found it in the final room in a cupboard).  Our only problem was the final thing you needed to do was broken, and there was a language barrier when explaining what had broken, the GM wasnt sure what we were saying so didnt come in to look at it/fix it, after playing such an amaaaazing game, having that one final piece of the puzzle and story not work was a let down.  We normally play as a team of 2, but I do think a 3 or 4 works well for this one. It’s certainly possible with 2 though.
