Clockwork Escapes Telford: The Legend of Foole’s Gold

#48

This was a fantastic experience! From the moment you are in the room you are immersed, and from there it just keeps expanding. Very original, the practical effects and decor of this room are on a par with, if not exceeding Viking at Extremescape. A few really unexpected turns and surprises, we would be completing one puzzle and genuinely be unsure what we were about to put into motion.

An added bonus of this room is that as you are collecting gold AS WELL  as trying to solve puzzles and try to escape, you can finish before you have completed EVERYTHING - therefore our host didn’t let us out when we enabled escape, but instead encouraged us to search high and low for every last shiny piece.

Again, brilliant hosting here, the one criticism is that it was rather dark to start with in the mine, but your eyes do adjust in time. We both came out genuinely gutted it was all over. 

Current top 5:

1. Viking - Extremescape

2.  Mr Copplestone’s Curiosity Shoppe - Escape Quest

3. UI-55 - Compendium

4. The Legend of Foole’s Gold - Clockwork Escapes

5. Spellbound - Make Your Escape

One of our fa our it’s rooms we have played due to the mechanics of the room.

This isn’t a spoiler as you’re too in the briefing, however this room does not require you to exit as quickly as possible, although that certainly helps, however your mission is to collect as much gold as possible, and certain items will give you multipliers. 

There is a fair bit to do in this room, it’s rather dark and there’s the impending sense of urgency to collect as much as possible. 

Some great puzzles and a rather physical room too. We loved it… but as a word of warning… wear old clothes. You will get dirty in the mine
