Felt like quite a hard room to get through as was quite a lot to get through- although most the puzzles themselves didn’t seem too difficult. Really disliked the one puzzle at the end though - a machine. However, all that being said - this was still a great room with great set decoration and everything else logical.

The puzzles were mostly easy enough - just felt like quite a few to get through. There’s one puzzle we really disliked though - right at the end and wasted loads of time on it.

Some clever puzzles and gadgets in a room full of periodic table based challenges. The host was very patronising which affected how much we enjoyed the room

Really good theming, with a fantastic range of different types of puzzles, some of which we've never seen before. The hardest room we've ever faced, with so much to try and do within an hour. I would not recommend this to novices.

Very high quality, plush room. No. Linear and some fairly tricky puzzles. Some may be a bit obscure for many. They certainly where for us !

We struggled with a puzzle which needed audio ability & there wasn’t a way round that, but the set design was absolutely brilliant.

The GM seemed overly cloying & clingy, which sadly is my overriding memory of this visit & not in a good way.
