Nice room. Kids really enjoyed it. If you expect the latest technology ,then this is not your room. It's a classic old style room. Very good for beginners or kids

They did not allowed us to enter the place. We had to stay outside on the street, as we arrived a bit earlier. We didn't bother at the end as the weather was Okey, but have in mind that if you get there earlier

We really enjoyed this room. Great storyline we've not played before and puzzles were really good. fun. A non linear room with lots of padlocks and some techy bits. We were a team of 2 and only needed 1 clue and escaped with a time of 41.40 so fairly easily escaped.

Only down point was one prop didn't pop open as it should. Would have been a much better effect if it had.

Overall it’s was an average room. I feel the games master could of done more to make this experience better and the room it’s self could of had a better flow from puzzle to puzzle.

Gameplay

I didn’t see any link of game flow in this room however it was still okay to play.

Atmosphere

The set was okay, made me feel like i was in a carnival however some other touches to it would have been nice for example , sound and lights.

Customer service

Average treatment from staff, we were pretty rushed out after our game even though we arrived on time and escaped within the hour.

Particularly interesting or different

No

Story

When being “briefed” the games master didn’t give us much of a story to be immersed into the game which was disappointing.

Difficulty

Medium

I wouldn’t say the room was very difficult however the lack of linking that each puzzle had to the next was what made it harder. Rather than the puzzles being difficult.

Ideal number of players

4

depending on experience of players this is always a hard question to answer however i would say an average of 4 players for this room. There is nothing in the room that would stop 1 person from playing there selves however.

Scary

Not scary

Minimum age

16

I would definitely recommend 16+ for this room due to the complexity of some puzzles in the room.
