Enjoyed the room and the novelty. A couple of the puzzles were fun and different. The host was great too. However, if it weren’t for those things I’m not sure this would be as highly rated.

Flow not so much - was more a find something and do something.

Lovely change for an outdoor room and was great weather. However, even in rain most of the puzzles are all undercover so you’d not get too wet.

Was anything broken?

No

There’s one high tech puzzle that is really hard to interact with - but the host explained and demonstrated and so dealt with it well.

The game outside seemed to really lack flow, we spent a lot of time wondering what the next steps were as it didn’t seem clear, also missed 1/4 of game due to it malfunctioning, staff are great here but this ones a miss for me

Cool experience to be outside for a change! This is well sheltered from the elements even though it’s outside but worth wrapping up warm if visiting outside of summer.

You don't get many outside rooms and will always be popular in good weather. We enjoyed it, the nature of being outside made it different, the puzzles very varied and in keeping with the theme. Great rooms and great hosting at this venue. Be prepared for it not to be like a standard room and you'll enjoy it like we did.
