Love this room. It has been done out fantastic, the puzzles are great and it is really fun!
This is a visually beautiful room, really immersive.
You feel like you are actually part of the original film.
Good use of space with a nice variety of puzzles.
The kids will LOVE this room.
A superb game that was so enjoyable from beginning to end. The set provides wow moment after wow moment and the puzzles are a lot of fun. We just loved this one.
Unbelievable. This room is by far my favourite room in the Enigma chain. The beginning was not what I was expecting, but made sense with the storyline, but as you play through this room, it just gets better and better. The set is amazing too, so much so, that my friend had to keep telling me off for looking at it and not focusing on the puzzles.
Really worth playing this. So much fun, it has everything you want from the story, and so much more. Very immersive, and a great sense of adventure.
Chocs βnβ Locks!
I mightβve completed 81 escapes, but never one in a chocolate factory! I went with my dad and brother, and we got 10% off with ENIGMAPERK.
Story
Take the chance to step inside the chocolate factory, but make sure you can escape (?)
Puzzles
An engaging variety of puzzles that involve some artful thinking and clever pay-offs. The placement/accessibility of a couple of components in the game mislead and threw us off the scent (which, in this room, was genuinely like sweets- amazing), but our friendly Games Host was on hand to provide hints when needed.
Mise-en-scene
In the thoughtfully laid out spaces, there are plenty of nods to the films, some more subtle than others. The final βzoneβ is particularly impressive.
Final Comments
Altogether a top-notch room- in fact, my dad and brother said itβs one of their favourites. We escaped with just under 5 minutes to spare.
So so clever and beautifully done. Loved it!
This room was stunning and original - with lots of interesting puzzles.
Fantastic hosting again from Dan.
Reviews by escape room review sites
Only having time to play two games of the three at Enigma Rooms Hull, the second one we chose was their Chocolate Factory game. On telling us about the chocolate factory's owner, Mr Enigma, our host pointed out that there was no copyright infringement going on; and there wasn't. But the influence of a certain famous movie is clear throughout this loving homage. Your team isn't plunged into the factory, but instead reach it after a build-up that mirrors the plot of the film.
