TLDR: Worth a visit, but lower your expectations.

Amazing new idea for a room, genuinely loved the storyline. However, the room was incredibly linear. I brought a team of 5/6  experienced players having done between 10-50 rooms each. I have now done all their rooms, and Crack the Code typically has one incredibly hard to understand puzzle,  and this room was no different. 

All but one member of the group had to wait around while others did puzzles. We even had to be bypassed through one.

 There was one cool puzzle to get the egg which I really liked as we did have to work together, so I'll give them that. I was super excited to do their new room thinking they might have learnt from their mistakes in previous rooms, but it's almost the same.

Clue system needs updated, as it is currently incredibly poor and has no sound or signal when you get a clue, which sucks. All their final exit doors are the same and have the same method of opening, which is a shame.

I think all Crack the Code's rooms have massive potential, just need a little updating, and every time I go the hosts are absolutely lovely.
