Mark as done to rate

Welcome to Victor Frankenstein's miserable attic quarters strewn with insane equations, strange artefacts and miscellaneous body parts. Victor is close to unlocking the mysteries of life and requires just a few key components to fulfil his maniacal quest. Having coerced you into his quarters with promises of "riches beyond your wildest dreams," it's actually your vital organs he's after. You have just one hour to unravel the ramblings of a madman and discover the equation that not only reveals the mystery of life itself but more critically your way out to freedom.

Good gameplay, however it wasn’t obvious when things automatically opened. So we ended up repeated solved puzzles not knowing we’d solved them - resulting in us failing to escape!

A few nice bits of theming, pretty nice set, but definitely their first outing in puzzle design - quite a few uses of red herrings or logical leaps let this experience down for us.

Pretty rubbish escape room. There's a couple of good puzzles but the majority either don't make sense or are super basic. Several puzzle rely on a similar key system making it really difficult to ascertain which clues/items belong to which puzzle. There are several features of the room that aren't used or seemingly make no difference to the room. It's also a very dark escape room and we were only given one torch, meaning only the person with the torch can actually see anything until you get the lights on (well into the game). There's the start of some good puzzles but they've not been followed through, meaning the main challenge of the game is that you can't see and you're trying to work out illogical puzzles that don't feed into flow or story line.

Gameplay

No flow, very little storyline.

Atmosphere

Some good atmospheric additions, but the thumbs up is being pretty generous. Also because several of the puzzles/props don't work properly the staff had to pop in several times.

Customer service

The member of staff we had for this game was good, can't say the same for the second game however.

Particularly interesting or different

No

Nothing I've not seen before, generic puzzles that felt pretty out of context for the story line

Had read that the room was well themed but didn't have too many clues, so went in with pretty low expectations. Only played as well had some spare time in Bath. Room was however pretty solid. Well themed and although not puzzle heavy was still a fun room to play and one we were all pleasantly surprised by. Host was lovely and friendly.

  • An impressive escape room experience with a great theme and atmosphere.

  • [...] make a few changes to puzzles and to the GM system before we can definitely recommend it.
