Fun but not one of the better ones at this venue. Showing its age, some minor kit failures or frustrations.

Gameplay

Plenty of room for improvement, a strained series of locks that reveal the next lock.

Atmosphere

The music was slightly too loud, at one point you need to listen carefully to spoken instructions and it's hard to hear.

Customer service

Brilliant staff, excellent tips.

This room was good and nicely immersive in a retro arcade. It was a little dark in the beginning and slow at times but the game masters were good at taking us in the right direction. It was definitely a more linear room with one puzzle leading to the other, but all the puzzles made sense and connected nicely. We found ourselves overthinking some puzzles but that says more about us than the room. lol Overall we had a great time and escaped with plenty of time.

This room was ok. The theme was good and the first room was fun. I really like some of the retro objective used as part of the game. Unfortunately we did have some issues. The room was a bit shabby. The fact the hosts can hear you is a problem as she was giving us clues for puzzles we had already solved. When the blacklight broke she wasn't watching so even us jumping around in front of the camera. Made it hard to escape but we still managed

First room with this company and it wasn't the best, the host wasnt really watched us, giving us clues for puzzles we solved ages ago and a torch ran out of batteries and staff didn't see us at the camera trying to get their attention as they couldn't hear us. Cool idea for a theme but quite a tatty bland room in honesty
