Clever puzzles with an interesting back story combine to make this worth going out of your way for.  We played as a group of 4 but enthusiasts could probably do this as a 2, theres a lot do but it is well structured and is played in two halves with both taking on a non-linear path to victory.

Great room with some fun puzzles! Our host was absolutely superb and there was a decent level of theming throughout! Personally wasn’t a fan of the combination of astrology which was introduced around halfway with the original murder mystery, felt like a clash. Also had a bit of broken tech, with something needing a whack from us to open (as instructed by the host), and something laser related not activating at first.

Themes kinda clashed at the halfway point

Good fun room. It starts off slow and seems a bit like an old fashioned style escape room but then as you get further into it, it gets better and better and the pace feels like it picks up.

Really enjoyed this escape room. Very different to standard “get out the door” ones. Found the storyline a little odd, but was good fun nonetheless. I liked the use of tech and and the different setting were so different, it was cool.

No spoilers We did this as a two and it really suited that. You certainly wouldn’t want lots of people for this. The game isn’t too serious and there are lots of humorous bits of video. No jump scares. This would suit beginners and kids who can read fluently will find things to do.

Gameplay

Logical piece it together, nothing too cryptic! A few bits of search and find and skill/mechanical puzzles

Atmosphere

Simple but appropriate

Customer service

Lovely team. Very receptive to the fact we’d played lots before. I like that he asked how long we should struggle before prompting for clues!

This felt like a room of several unconnected parts, as though they’d cobbled together various different themes in one place. Consequently we didn’t feel it was as good as the other Cryptology rooms, but was an ok way to spend nearly an hour.

Poor flow between what felt like unconnected segments.
