cleverimmersiveneeds some tlc

Two reasonably seasoned escapees but both in a very visually challenged mood on the day managed to escape. Some of the items that we found the most tricky were the items that were just overlooked. Flow of puzzles was nice and there was usually a good visual hint between the lock and the resolution of the lock which is sometimes missing on some escape games.

The room does seem to be coming to the end of its natural life, there's some TLC needed on the hardware but most of it is working sufficiently well for the game, it was just sometimes difficult to see which were triggered (if you know you know).

Nice addition of a countdown at a key point in the game which did add to the level of urgency in the room.

Hosted well by Helen who was happy to provide hints when required and joined into the spirit of the game along the way.

Good selection of Exit games available in stock too - and we've played a majority of them here as we love them too!

Some good puzzles and we flowed quite nicely through the game. Hosting was a little odd but we had a good time.

The latest game from Lockhouse is a Cold War spy theme, where you are trapped in a safe house and need to not only escape but also identify a traitor and find a set of blueprints.

The safe house is a basement room that suits the 1970s setting but won't bowl you over; it's a little dowdy, with a couple of padlocked hatches marked as off limits. It's more impressive than the initial glance suggests though, and includes some cool pieces of period paraphernalia, and background audio to add to the a...

Another good TRAP-designed room. Probably weakest of the four available in Blackpool but still plenty of fun particularly as a couple.
