Escape Hunt Liverpool Reviews Summary

Escape Room Themes and Settings

Pros:

• "The room and the plot was really well thought out."
• "Interesting challenges, not too hard and not boring!"

• "The theming was great."
• "Theming here was awesome!"
• "The aesthetic was great."
• "The escape room was really well thought out and the puzzles were great fun."
• "The puzzles were very fun and high-tech with many not just being a simple padlock and key or number combination, helping to add to the overall feel."

Cons:

• "Felt like it was quite hard even though we have done lots of escape rooms and most often escape!"
• "The story doesn't really work that well. A lot of the puzzles don't flow logically in our opinion, it seems a bit random how you progress."
• "The rooms are poorly lit, I appreciate this could be due to the theme but it is really annoying when looking for clues."
• "One of the elements failed but our games master didn't realise this, so we were stuck on that one for a while until the games master just let us progress."
• "Some props not working and random keys in places that had no use."
• "Very linear room, so most of us were standing around frustrated without stuff to do most of the time!"
• "Old false nails, dirt, hair, and dust. No timers in room so we timed our own game and escaped in 39 mins yet the game host said 57."
• "The experience was made so much better by Steve, he had the perfect amount of communication and had us laughing throughout the experience."

• "The puzzles were very fun and high-tech."
• "Really gets you thinking and you come out totally ecstatic."
• "The puzzles were very fun and high-tech with many not just being a simple padlock and key or number combination."

• "The puzzles were challenging, but not unfair."
• "We were rubbish and didn't complete the room but it was excellent fun."
• "Quite challenging room, for only two people at least."
• "The puzzles don't flow logically in our opinion, it seems a bit random how you progress."

Escape Room Staff/Games Masters

• "Our games master Caz was excellent too and really added to the experience."

Cons:

• "We did alot of the puzzles straight away but nothing happened so we where walking round aimlessly."
• "One puzzle in particular actually malfunctioned during the game, which the game master admitted and apologized for."
• "The intercom system over which warnings and hints were given was quite hard to hear - muffled and distorted."
• "We were not given a back story to the room, no build up or description. That for us as a group sets the scene and the mood to get excited."
• "Hosts clearly not watching as when we asked for clues they had to ask where we were up to."
• "We had an issue with the puzzle on the wall, but this was simply fixed by pushing the pieces properly in."
• "Despite us solving them, the mechanism didn't seem to trigger until our games master intervened."
• "The games masters are all incredibly fun and make sure you have a good time and both rooms I did were very well thought out."
