Code to Exit: The Blueprint

This was our first ever room so other may not find it as difficult as we did. We spent a lot of time reading things that we didn't need rather than concentrating on what we should have been doing.  Looking back, I'm not sure if there was just more clutter in this room or, if it was just our inexperience. I also feel the host could have been more helpful knowing that this was our first ever room.

The room was quite small so keep the team below 4 and there were a lot of objects etc to find.

We did enjoy the room and went back to play another but I don't think they'd rate among our favourites.

It looked like a cab office. Rooms weren't great and the host was rude.

50s Blues (Prints)

In the spirit of being super-savvy, I got a Groupon voucher that let a team of two play for just over £10 each.

Story

Nip back to the 1950s, retrieve a blueprint for a hydrogen bomb and bring it back to the present day (after repairing the time portal). I think just finding the blueprint would have been enough of a mission without the convoluted time portal addition.

Puzzles

Practical, and a lot of fun. A keen eye was needed for this one. We needed the odd hint to point us in the right direction, but there was one part we were completely stumped on and (almost) had to have the answer spelled out to us.

Mise-en-scène

Another tiny space! While there were one or two cool, authentic props, I didn't feel like I was in the '50s. I was half-expecting/hoping for a jukebox. It was an unexciting, fusty study. 

Final Comments

Luckily, a team of two or three was fine for the number of puzzles; the room would have been too cramped with more than four. A nice challenge, but not one I could justify paying full price for.
