This is the third room out of Enigma's four that we have done, and once again, they did not disappoint! Setting and theming are great, nice attention to detail. We may not have escaped, but we did have a great time! Now if only we could get that Dean Martin song out of our heads...

beautiful

This didn't feel like it flowed quite as well as the others here and that's really the main reason for knocking off some stars. There were large portions that felt very logical and quick and flowing. The puzzles themselves were pretty good and the decoration was great.

We loved this room. Totally unexpected start to the game but great theming as we’ve come to expect from Enigma Doncaster. Stayed true to the theme as we progressed through the room and again, a good range of puzzles that flowed logically and were visually very pleasing. I enjoyed this room far more than I expected to! My elderly assistant loved the build quality and authenticity of this room too.

Another room to recommend at Enigma Doncaster, the hosting is fantastic and the whole experience is both value for money and immense fun.

Sometimes, there is nothing better than a really well put together room stuffed with padlocks and that is what Mafia is. We tore through it because it was instinctive and not because it was easy, which it certainly isn't - this is packed with puzzles and lovely nods to the theme. A super game.

value for moneygreat hostingfamily friendly

This is currently the latest room for Enigma Doncaster, and its a great one. If you have played the other rooms at Doncaster, this one will make you say 'wow' just as you walk in. 

Theming was great throughout, and some nice little bits that we didn't expect. The puzzle were challenging in some parts of the game, but easy-wins, in others. I don't think anything was unachievable though. With that said, we failed to get out, and were stuck on the last puzzle, and we were annoyed at ourselves for, because when the host, Laura, told us the solution, we could have kicked ourselves for not thinking about it.

I think the puzzles are a bit too challenging for youngsters, but its still a  family friendly atmosphere. We really enjoyed this room, and so glad we decided to play it.

A fun room with a lot of ER tropes but presented well with some great theming.  This would be a great room for beginners whilst still raising a smile for enthusiasts.

A beautifully presented game with a great opening scene and fun puzzles. The challenges weren't particularly original but they did the job. A great beginners' room that will still entertain enthusiasts.
