There have been reports that there is a serial killer on the loose. Many people in the area have gone missing and no traces of their whereabouts have been discovered. Only one survivor has lived to tell the tale of what happened in the killer’s lair. Rumour has it that he forces his prisoners to perform ghastly tests to see how far they can push themselves in order to escape. You have suddenly awoken to discover that you have been locked inside a room of complete darkness with no recollection of how you found yourselves in this situation. Your captor has devised a series of games to test how much strength you have in order to save your own lives.

Really enjoyed the set-up but the low light levels make all the searching a bit laboured... Saying that, it really got going after we got past the first room and we enjoyed the last few puzzles.

Fairly well themed captured scenario (the film Saw has a lot to answer for), you start the room chained up and, surprisingly, the first thing you find is not they key.  Good game with some clever ideas throughout.

Reviews by escape room review sites

A well-decorated and challenging room, Enigmista lures you into a false sense of confidence in its first half. The second half becomes much more difficult and requires more lateral thinking than our inebriated brains could handle.
