    It's reputation had preceeded it, I think this is one of those games that should be played live, it's not about the puzzles, its about the experience which from this should be intense.

    Crashing into the Amazon Jungle you have to enter the temple, get the treasure before the curse claims you.  A very high tech room with some clever puzzles throughout.

    I will admit, I went into this without really knowing anything of the Rugrats (after my time sadly).  It does not matter as you don't need to know anything.  You have to help the babies find their toys!  The room is well themed and has a great flow to it, we barely stopped the whole way through.  There's a lot of locks but it's always relatively clear which code is for which lock, some puzzles/room effects lose their impact when played remotely.  Video/Audio was stable throughout, Inventory also worked well.

    A great start takes into a an amazingly decorated caravan, the puzzles are a bit fiendish and clever but the whole thing builds to a great denouement, this is very much worth your time.

    Another gorgeous room, very high tech and production values were off the chart.  This is one room I'd have loved to do in person, only slight dampener was that we didn't get all the images we needed for when we found various puzzles but that really was a minor niggle.

    A Game of Thrones Escape Room, in the same city where some of it was filmed!  What GoT fan could pass this up.  As before, any explicit GoT knowledge is not needed but you will recognise some of the imagery and ideas.  Some incredibly clever puzzles guided by the Avatar of Ser Dondas who stayed in hilarious character the whole time, recommended.

    Believe the video game hype, like Catacombs, you come here for the experience, not the puzzles.  I certainly felt like I was missing my controller at one point (I suffered with motion sickness at one stage which is a first).  It's a slick operation they are polishing, I'm not sure if this is an escape room as we know them, it almost needs its own category.

    High production values, an excellent Avatar and one of the better inventory systems used, there is magic in the air and a room I'd love to play for real..

    Quite often you start in a room with a plethora of places to start looking, when you start in an almost blank slate it becomes a very different proposition.  This is a good game that feels genuinely creepy at stages.

    You start in a submarine but you soon leave that to explore a strange new world.  This is a great room with a good story, our Avatar was excellent, possibly my favourite inventory system but make no mistake, this is a hard room, we did with 2 but we only had a couple of minutes left.  Had a brilliant time throughout.
