Your commander narrowed the suspects down to five people, but has now mysteriously disappeared!
Can you work out who the traitor is and escape in time?

Enigma is a detective game, set in the Bletchley codebreaking centre where you have to identify a traitor from five possible suspects. I was expecting a World War Two setting, but it uses more modern technology so is present day or recent past.

While Enigma is lacking the WOW-factor of other rooms at The Panic Room, it is still a solid, and enjoyable room
