    All-time favourite room!! Puzzles were phenomenal and theatrically inspiring. This room is the epitome of the magic of theatre and creativity. The immersiveness of the entire storyline and space was smart and engaging. Hard room, but so rewarding.

    My 2nd favourite CIPHER room, and all-time 2nd too. So much that I went back twice and did it with a different group of friends so that I could work on the puzzles that I didn't solve last time (we split and conquered). I will say this time and again, but CIPHER has the best theatre experiences and I cannot fault it. Its my favourite franchise by far and the atmosphere, puzzles and storyline are superior.

    I am so glad I went! I was umming and aahing about going to Mafia because I had previously done 1 escape at this place and despite being fun, I remember it being not as tricky as I thought it would be. Oh boy was this tricky! But in the best way. The puzzles were fun and actually quite inventive. Required lots of teamwork and communication. I'm glad I went with my husband because we knew exactly who was good at what elements, and we did manage to escape, but the GM gave us an extra couple of minutes to finish it. More rooms than dxpected (what I love to hear!!) Highly recommend!

    The immersiveness and atmosphere of the room was great! Big step up from City of Ashes, not gonna lie. We had 5 people in the room and I would not recommend - abit too cramped for 5. Ideally 2 or 3. I cheated a bit because I know mandarin, and kanji overlaps a little bit so I shaved off about 2 minutes from what it would've been. The room itself was fun, everything made sense, and nothing deterred us too much. Not much red herrings which I appreciated. Overall, fun! Best design at the place and it's not particularly hard at all so I wish I went with less people.

    Honestly, it was hard not because of the puzzles, but because it required actually thinking like a student and doing actual school math and calculations for each puzzle. I really enjoyed that the puzzles also used Maori and the history/knowledge of local NZ landscapes/figures, which made it so much more interesting. That I really appreciated!

    The Great Escape

    Came in with low expectations, and took it slower than I did my other rooms cause I figured it was easy, so got a decent amount of use and time out of it. Was fun in general and room was better than expected. I like how we were solving mainly one puzzle at a time, but I will say, if you get stuck, you don't have anything else to do. Lucky for us all we get 5 hints each so it's not the end of the world. Would've liked more Sherlock themed puzzles in the room, and the puzzles were mainly just puzzles for the sake of it. I liked the designs inside - again - would've just liked for them to tie into the narrative more. Overall, fine/good room, not as great GMs.

    Aladdin overall was a beautifully designed game that was built to be immersive. It has several components that made the room likeable and we particularly enjoyed the narrative of it. What we were let down by were the technology of the room itself. It can be seen that the room had not been well maintained or updated as some of the solutions did not unlock the next steps/answers despite being correct. The rooms in this venue could do with some maintaining and cleaning, but I wouldn't fault it otherwise. It wasn't difficult per se and the clues weren't overtly tough but it had clever puzzles that we enjoyed, particularly needing teamwork! Not many red herrings, which I appreciated!
