Team size: 2 Outcome: Successful escape!

A lovely escape room from the guys at Escapeorium. I loved the ending, and felt fully immersed throughout. A good use of space and mixture of puzzles.

Let me start by saying I may have expected too much from this room with it being so highly rated in the TORPECA awards. 

We found this room frustrating more than anything, once you got out the initial room (which is really cool). One of the puzzles didnt quite make sense to us, and there seemed to be multiple choices for some puzzles and sort of guess work. This may have been user error, as we didnt get chance to chat afterwards as we headed straight to another room elsewhere. 

Now the negative is out of the way, I would like to say its a very clever room (ideally need 4 players) and its BEAUTIFUL! Some really good puzzles and some good mixture of physical stuff and mental. Even though I didnt think it was amazing, id still say its a must do when visiting Barcelona

Top 3 Rooms of all time!

HUGE set, lots of physical puzzles, running, crawling, smashing. Absolute delight to play, outshone the higher rated Brewery Room in Barcelona IMO. 

Such a great immersive game from start to finish

If you like Back to the Future, this is the room for you. If you like 90s Nostalgia this is the room for you. If you like Escape Rooms, this is the room for you. If you havent played an escape room before, then this isnt the one for you as it sets the bar too high!!! Such a great room, ive played it twice.

We did this room straight after the Impact room, Draculas Tomb being the first the host had made and Impact the last. You could tell mainly due to production value but dont let that put you off. It was still a very nice room, well made and good well thought out puzzles. I just wish I had done them the opposite way round, so I wasnt still revelling in Impacts glory. If you can, do all the games at Enigma Hull, worth every penny.

Had a trip out to Hull on Sunday after looking at the reviews on here about Impact at Enigma. It was an immersive experience, really felt like I was in Red Dwarf! Really clever layout and tricky puzzles, which all made sense when given a nudge. The host was really nice to chat to and you can see takes pride in his rooms. A must if you are that way, a must if you arent aswell. Not many games ive done are like this one.

The Great Houdini once said "Never tell the auidience how good you are, they will soon find out for themselves"

I had the absolute pleasure of playing The Great Loudini at Escapable - Escape Rooms and I am going to honour the first part of that statement and not tell you how good the room was. What I will say is I have never done such an immersive, evolving, interactive room previously. It's more than a escape room, it's an escape experience. The pride, passion and a little pizazz that the owner has put into this really shines through. From beginning to end, you are taken on a journey of wonder, awe and 'how did he do that??' 

He has done his best to take you back to 1926, the glory days of magic in the past, but the irony is, he shows you a glimpse of escape rooms in the future.

So if you get chance then follow the second half of the opening statement, and go and find out for yourselves.
