88 escape rooms
Sadly an extremely disappointing experience as the game broke the mould of a good room. Puzzles are numbered to guide you through, with only five primary ones to solve. Some require advanced mathematics and brute force, and the use of a smart phone is required to engage with the game. This was my 64th room across the world, and I took with me 5 newbies to expose them to the world of Escape Rooms. While we escaped in time, we all left disappointed and annoyed. It ranks in my bottom 3 rooms, and the experience turned my companions off the hobby.
Gameplay
Atmosphere
Customer service
Staff were extremely scripted and it felt like a bit of a 'factory' of arrive, pay, watch video, room, summary, farewell. Hints are all generalised and phone based so you do not engage with a human when playing.

Was anything broken?
Yes
I'm not entirely sure, but there is a wall that I believe was supposed to opened by touch via a hydrolic mechanism, but this didn't work and brute force was expected.
