intensebroken techoverpriced

A heck of a lot to do (so we were glad there is a 90 minute version for two players now) and I liked the heist layers to it, but I thought this room looked very tired and broken in places (one of the puzzles is clearly broken and is thus easier to complete). Theming is a little rough and tumble in places (a lot of exposed wiring), and some puzzles are a tad overstretched with obtuse solutions. A large amount of puzzles also rely on solving for a,b,c etc. which limited the variety.

That being said, I loved rushing around trying to collect as much money as possible, and it did really feel like we were on a heist. I think the overall package could be a lot better than it is though.

Great set and theatrics, a fun story, lots of drama, exciting tension without being horror! Only critique was a few puzzles needed a bit of a logic leap prompt from the host.

story-drivenquite easy

This was quite a simple escape virtual room with a number of traditional puzzles mixed with a small amount of lateral thinking. As a team of two fairly experienced escapers we finished it in well under the time which is likely a reflection of the ease of the game rather than our brilliance.

Nothing surprising or outstanding but an ok game - could be a bit frustrating if you're not used to the apparent lack of relationship between clues and solutions however it passed the time, we didn't get cross with one another and both had the option to solve the odd puzzle or two.

Worth turning contrast/brightness up on your computer before playing it as some of the clues are a bit dark.

Controls are good and allowed independent investigation/analysis. No bugs that we found. On the whole ok to good.

story-drivenfamily friendly

Definitely good one for families with children, some crawling/climbing which smaller people will enjoy ... nice ending.

originalimmersivebroken techquite easy😨creepy

This room has very clearly seen better days, but it is such an innovative and interesting concept! It could definitely use a bit of TLC/refurb, and the magnetic locks definitely need fixing. The overall vibe was very cool though - it was very dark and claustrophobic, even with just three of us, which really added to the ambiance. The puzzles themselves were simple and relatively sparse, so constantly getting lost or turned around actually helped to pad out the time nicely - otherwise we would have breezed right through. One of the puzzles had clearly been broken for some time, so it's "reward" was just given to us at the start - not a bad way to cover for broken tech; however, it's a pity to be down a whole puzzle.

It would appear that this escape room complex has been integrated into/taken over by the bar complex downstairs. The host was really friendly and passionate about the rooms; however, I think she had double duty of GMing our game and tending bar(?) - I could be wrong though, and I hope I am - that feels like it would be unfair on both player and staff!

very easy

The set itself was great, but the puzzles were too easy and repetitive. The room could be great if the puzzles were more interesting.
