A nice room, apparently very new. Good story, good theming and set. My only criticism is there are an awful lot of padlocks, probably more than any other room I have done, and after stooping down to enter a code into a tiny little lock for the 10th time, it does wear a little thin. It would have been nice if there was a bit more automated electronic unlocking of things, and a few less padlocks.
That said, the puzzles were great and the clue delivery system was really cool and very in keeping with the theme. Some nice surprised and magical moments.
Definitely worth doing.

beautifuloriginalgreat hosting
The most out there and different escape room experience i've seen so far. The theming is incredible and the way the game is built into the room is really unusual. Its a split start and you are actually chained up (although in a fire escape safe way).
The hosting was probably the best ive had, with the game masters costume and character and humour all being perfect.
Worth playing purely for the originality and unusualness, let alone the rest.

We had high expectations for this but left feeling flat. The theming/set is fantastic. Hosting is really good, although the intro is perhaps longer than it needs to be and had lost us a bit. This wasn’t so much a game of finding and solving. Personally we felt it would be more suited to a team of 2 as often there was nothing for the rest to do. The first half of the game was better than the second. And the end we found a bit of an anti-climax

hi-tech
Dark room start without enough torches for the whole team meant that this was a rocky beginning to the room for me. Got better in terms of puzzle and experience, but first impressions matter and I probably didn't enjoy the rest of the room as much as I might have.
