Houdini’s Escape Room Experience Bristol: Temple Raider

Visually, this is a decent game, we liked the theming. However, we felt the puzzles let it down slightly, and there weren't that many. At one point, you need to climb a ladder, in a fairly dark room, to a raised area - I suspect some players will struggle with this, particularly when descending - this aspect is questionable from a health and safety point of view.

Pretty horrible experience. Cannot recommend. Missing puzzle parts, difficulty by darkness, the worst GMing I've ever experienced and the bizarre choice of a steep set of steps with no handrail just waiting for someone to fall off it.. no wonder they are so keen for you sign a waiver. 

An immersive experience that utilised the space really cleverly and had a wide range of puzzles combining more mental tasks with a good dollop of jungle-based physical and skill too.

I don’t want to be too harsh but it really didn’t deliver the experience we were after. Especially having played a similar room elsewhere, it paled in comparison. The game master didn’t really care or engage. The room was very basic when it came to puzzles. The look was good but very dark, especially with only two torches but 4 of us. Some of sets in the room were damaged. We escape with 20 minutes to spare. I would look to give this a miss and play one of other rooms instead. 

Loved this room. Tackled it as a team of two and loved how immersive the theming and puzzles were. Not a padlock in site and some very clever tricks to keep you on your toes. There are a couple of sections where you have to crawl or climb and we noticed at least one puzzle that was broken but it didn't detract from our enjoyment at all. The game host we had was very attentive and could tell they enjoyed running the game for us which made it even better.
