Sci-fi themed game with an awful lot to do.  Non-linear in basis but make no mistake there is a lot to do so I would recommend 3-4 at a minimum.  The plot is atypical sci-fi fare but there is a twist at one point that can affect the eventual outcome and makes you think about your actions.

Little bit harder as a 2 in the time but certainly do-able. An older room but a great theme and well done. Some of the puzzles are a little more tricky to follow but we enjoyed it overall.

Very hard for a 2 player. Lots to do and some complex choice elements. Great design and attention to detail. Friendly owner / GM.

Very hard. Too much to do for a 2 player.

Some games just aren’t ‘our kind of game’ & this turned out to be one of them. The game constantly felt like a struggle & the primary & secondary crystal idea felt confusing & unnecessary. Whilst I can’t put my finger on what was so bad about it, it didn’t compare to their other rooms & there simply wasn’t much enjoyment factor there for us. The rooms at this branch don’t seem to be in the same league as the Nottingham branch, almost as though they’re totally different companies.

It was cohesive, but felt somehow cheap compared to most other Cryptology rooms.
