Escape room

The first room of our Escape Tour in Spain. Was 46 in Terpeca 2023.
Overall enjoyable and fun. It’s 2 escape rooms back to back, which took use around 2 hours and half to complete. 
The start and the general atmosphere of the room was what stood out.
Some of the puzzles were more difficult due to the lighting and general design. 
Recommended for experienced players, newbies might struggle.

The Rebellion by Blindhouse Games in Bilbao was the last room of our 30-day Spain trip and turned out to be the best as well--we absolutely loved it. I recommend the hybrid experience.

During most of the trip I had been quietly grumbling about Disneyland-style plaster and foam sets in escape rooms, and obvious anachronisms (such as touch-tone phones in medieval castles). Rebellion had very little of that--the medieval sets felt very real. I think this kind of dedication to authenticity contributes a lot to the immersion--Rebellion kicks off with an NPC blindfolding, shackling, and jailing you, and being trapped in a cell that feels real (rather than something from a theme park ride) adds a little special something to the experience. A set that is built from wood, iron, and stone is also a lot more durable than one of foam; nothing was loose that shouldn't have been loose.

One room had enormous floor-to-ceiling columns with large inscribed symbols. In any other game, they would have been built of foam and plaster; here they were beautifully carved from wood.

The set felt enormous--as if we were exploring a small world. 

The puzzles were all great--many were wooden mechanical puzzles that we had never seen before. Any electronics in puzzles were carefully hidden--for example, electronic buttons were hidden behind wooden blocks. I don't think I saw a single wire or switch. Everything worked well--even wooden puzzles which would have suffered from wear and tear.

I think there was only one combination lock! There were a number of padlocks: a handful were modern-ish, but many more looked old and in-theme. They cleverly used many different lock types so that a key never fit into a lock that it didn't belong to.

There was also a great story that we really became invested in, with heroes and villains; relative to other games on our trip, there is not a lot of NPC interaction, but it was very memorable.

The main knock against Rebellion is the translation: none of the text (sometimes carved or printed onto the puzzle, and sometimes printed on parchment) was translated. The GM translated things for us on the fly ("Friends, that sign says you need to..."). One time we ran across a paragraph of Spanish on a wall, and the GM just gave us a scrap of notebook paper with the translation scrawled on it (handing it to us from a second story window as if he were Juliet passing a note to Romeo). In another case, words were integral to the puzzle; my partner was able to figure it out with her limited Spanish. The GM's English was fine but (as you might expect) he had an accent which when combined with the spotty audio system meant that he sometimes had to repeat hints. Don't let fear of language issues stop you from playing this game.
