Beautifully themed and very immersive from the start. The puzzles are engaging and logical, they aren’t too hard or too easy but are good at keeping you challenged. 
The only way for the host to give a clue is on a screen (with a themed noise), this was good as it didn’t disrupt your flow. 
The host/ co owner was absolutely lovely before and afterwards. 
Overall we found this room fantastic and really enjoyed the style of puzzles and theming. We felt it was well run and had a great time.

This was a fun game with some good surprises throughout 

. The GM gave thoughtful clues. 

Enjoyed this and would go the venue again.

This has so many surprises and is really great fun. We did it as 4 teams of 5 as a work party. It is fun being able to compete against other teams. We really enjoyed the feedback at the end which was so personalised. The theming is just brilliant both before and after!

Absolutely great theming here. You are shrunk down and that plays a huge part in the story. We have done all the rooms here this year as a team of two, they did say to us at the beginning that two was going to be extremely challenging for us and it was. We did need extra time but they gave it to us. The gm was brilliant and we enjoyed solving the puzzles.

Really enjoyed this. Did it on a sunny weekend day and it was great fun. The clues were challenging enough. There are good stops along the way and opportunities to pause the timer by going for a drink. I liked that it is timed.

To improve it it can be a bit tricky when you’re bumping into other groups and either they or you can benefit from the other group.

I did this in two teams of 6 from work.  We had a great guide with us Stacey Spacey. Overall it was hugely nostalgic of the show. Doing it with teams we knew and having a team we could compete against overall it felt really fun. The puzzles keep you engaged as a whole group and with tight timers it keeps you going fast. The different zones are realistic and look just like the original show, the transition between zones is very realistic too. The team building element was great. We came out buzzing. 

I think improvements could be made to the crystal  dome at the end, it needed far more of the tokens which just seemed to be shredded in a corner rather than in the middle to grab. I also would improve the waiting area. 

Overall though worth doing in a large group. It’s not cheap either.

illogical

The puzzles just didn’t make sense there was so much confusing information.

I did this as part of the trials. I really enjoyed it, it’s different from other treasure hunts and escape rooms. You do have to be careful using your phone in the city.

This is my favourite room at cluequest on this occasion we had a great host (not all are as in character).

I think the walkie talkies can be hard to hear. You do get very into it.

The theming was brilliant 80s music (really lovely touch choose your own mix tape).

Some nice puzzles to challenge how you think. Several cool surprises.

Host was brilliant.

Enjoyed this and will be back.
