You are usually more than happy to take the night shift at Hull's History Museum but after the disappearance of your colleague it's certainly not where you want to be. Gather your team but be careful, you may discover more about Hull's dark past than you wanted to.

At the beginning of the room one member is separated from the rest and I found this a fun little addition and extra task to the room!

Gameplay

All flowed super well was never a massive leap of logic needed to move on to the next task, really great fun!

Atmosphere

As you would expect for a Museum theme, it was a bit dated but we were told it was one of their oldest rooms about to be replaced!

Customer service

Both Tom and Becca were absolute angels and great at hyping us up before and after the room!

Great room with a story based on a local crime which made it a bit more immersive. Room flows well but one of the props suffers with a breakage after every game which has to be fixed.
