Wow! This room is absolutely fantastic. As soon as we were taken to the lobby we knew that TimeTrap meant business, the theming is so consistent and the experience starts when you walk through the door, not just within the rooms. We were taken to our room and the second that the door opened we were immersed before even stepping a foot inside. The room is absolutely beautiful, the attention to detail is outstanding and our GM Lily was perfect. She was completely in character and set the scene perfectly. Now for the actual puzzles... The main area features two linear puzzle paths running alongside each other so for a team of 4 it was perfect (even if we did forget to spot the start of the second path and do them one after the other instead XD).  There was plenty for everybody to do, no red herrings and a good mixture of difficulties that make it suitable for everyone. We can't really comment on the hint system as we didn't use any but from what we were told it was well incorporated into the theme so isn't jarring to the story at all. One thing to note is that there are a couple of puzzle items that you are required to move that are pretty heavy, personally I think the weight is a bit unnecessary and some people may struggle with this particular element. Overall, a really fantastic room that is well worth a visit and is possibly my current favourite in the UK.
