    This was a great game! Tons of puzzles with a very cool set that was exciting to interact with. The owner was very kind in letting us come in early to play while we were driving through. I look forward to coming back to play a few more games. We also enjoyed the Jolly Jumble.

    I can't believe it has taken me so long to go play this game. Another slam dunk from Nico and the crew at Quest Tavern. I didn't really know what to expect and that was the perfect way to experience it. There were many many many puzzles, so if you want a fast-paced game with seamless production value and a healthy dose of whimsy, The Bridge Between is for you. Extra points for a fun ending and a great photo opp. :-)

    Loved this very unique game because there were so many puzzles! I think we could have finished it with another 15-20 minutes, but we weren't quite there with our group of 3. Loved how much running around there was and how you used things multiple ways to solve new puzzles. We all really enjoyed it, but it would have been nice to know how much time + people we might need to pace it so we could have seen the whole game.

    Don't miss a stay in the Bates . . . I mean Bites . . . motel. The atmosphere is so realistic that I felt like was dropped into a movie set. While clearly a scary theme, the way that it was presented and the engagement you have with the actor/game master is so amusing and playful, that I think even a scaredy cat will be fine. I was really blown away by the set. The game flow kept you moving through the house in a flow that led to gradual exploration and did feel like you were creeping around someone's house in secret. I can't recommend this game enough. On our Europe tour of 33 top-ranked games, this one came in at #5 for me.

    As the game unfolded from one beautifully designed set to the next, my internal "wow" kept growing. This game has it all with very fun actor interactions, great puzzling, sets that will blow you away, great sound and music, and a surprise ending that took my breath away. This is a must play in the Barcelona area. When it was done, I was so sad that we didn't have time to play their other games. I would love to see what else these creators have dreamed up.

    Out of the 33 top games we played on a recent European escape tour, this room was my 2nd favorite. It's absolutely delightful, silly, novel, and you get to play in a kimono! It really stands out to me when I look back at our experience as something special. The puzzles centered on the element of play in a way that had us all laughing. It's a must-not-miss in the Barcelona area.

    This game has an elegant design of both puzzles and set and was a joy to play through. The old man seen in the ads appears by video in the game and was so well incorporated that it felt like he was in the room with us. There were continual surprises as we flowed through the game and the interface used throughout to identify us as individual play, facilitated teamwork with a combination of individual and shared goals. Very very fun. It's a must do when you visit Barcelona!

    This game was one of my favorites on our Athens trip. I thought it was "magical" from start to finish and a refreshing break from horror rooms. It still was a bit on the spooky side, but was centered around a very cool story that included fantastic acting and a bit of magic. The puzzles all made sense and were very satisfying and the set was fun. I highly recommend checking out this game.

    I thoroughly enjoyed this experience, most notably the fun and interesting ways that you moved through a very cool set of a village. The actors were fun and the puzzles all made sense. I do wish they provided a tad more light for solving and moving around, but that's true for most of the scary type of games.

    Not often do you have applause breaks during an escape experience, but we were so wowed by what they did with the acting, set, story, and surprises. Yes, it's scary, but the actors were having a great time and so were we.
