The room itself was a unique concept with some clever mechanics which we really enjoyed.
However, I have a love hate relationship with Clockwork Escapes. The GM at Clockwork Escapes is a character called the Professor. He is quite grouchy and above it all and to begin with we found him quite funny. However, we did all 3 rooms in one day at by the end of the 3rd room we felt quite demotivated and just wanted to leave. He never broke character which on one hand is very impressive but any time you wanted a clue he was quite belittling and by the end of the 3rd room it had got on our nerves a little.
I think if you did just one room at a time, you'd quite enjoy the quirky professor and find him funny but 3 hours back to back was a bit much.

Our first room at C.E. was a lot of fun, a really original concept and layout of the room. One thing in particular we had never seen before, and was a great surprise when revealed. It’s just a shame we didn’t have much interaction with it!
As tagged, this is a non-linear room, which can be a bit like marmite. We felt we were backtracking a few times, and would have struggled without quite a bit of guidance from the G.M (who was also fantastic and stayed in character our whole trip). This room (and ESPECIALLY Foole’s Gold) is definitely worth the travel.
A very original concept where you’re put inside the mind of the professor.
I do feel that the room lacked some signposting so hints were given frequently to guide us in the right direction. Somethings we would have had no idea about if we werent guided in the right direction. Not through inexperience, but through the design of the room.
That being said, it was an original concept with some good elements so give it a go
