    As a seasoned escape room enthusiast, this was by far, the hardest room I have experienced. Puzzles were challenging and well-crafted, however, the ratio of time to the number of puzzles was inadequate. This room, to complete successfully for many players, would require at least 1hr15mins or more. I was highly impressed with the quality of these puzzles- but was unsatisfied with the hint system. We are unable to ask for hints ourselves, and game masters rely on the verbal/non-verbal cues to decide when they believe players require hints. Overall, it was a great experience and escape room, with a few minor issues on my part. I do recommend this room for highly-experienced players and groups of 4+!

    Escape Room Melbourne - ERM

    Great room with challenging and interesting puzzles. I am always a fan of rooms with a good backstory and reason for “escaping”, and this certainly delivered. However, one of the puzzles was particularly time-consuming which slightly detracted from our overall experience. This room was highly enjoyable and clever- puzzles required more observation rather than critical thinking, which was fascinating to experience. However, what was interesting to me is that there was no way to tell how much time had elapsed, and no way to know how much time was left (even after asking the game master who refused to tell us). Upon reflection, I did actually enjoy this, as we were more focused on enjoying the experience and solving the puzzles at our own pace rather than stressing about the time. Overall, a fantastic experience- would recommend for moderate to experienced players of 3 players or more.
