This is a perfect example of a detective themed room done right!
It’s becoming increasingly rare that a venue’s self-proclaimed “most difficult room” lives up to its name but Cold Case absolutely delivers on that title, encouraging players to scour through an endless stream of evidence and clues to find the killer, I loved the attention to detail and the genuine stimulation of a well designed, difficult escape room. Hell yeah.
Though not the most clean set design, I felt like the gritty feel of the environment really added to realism of being inside an actual crime scene. The story was clear from the beginning and became so much more complicated than simply “catching a murderer” through clever puzzles, well-implemented story beats and live interactions with the Gamemaster, for me, it really hit all the right notes.
One of Missing Klues best and right up there with my favourites in Canberra!
