Escape Room Themes and Puzzles

Pros:

• "Really fun getting to setup an enigma machine, decode messages and use morse code."
• "The intricate puzzles and authentic atmosphere made this escape room a five-star adventure."
• "We did the pirate adventure, which was on the easier side if you have done an escape room before."
• "We went on Saturday as a group of 5 and did the Finest Hour game. It was quite tricky with lots of challenges but the WW2 setting really set the tone."

Cons:

• "We struggled with the tea table riddle as we didn't make the right connections."
• "Some of the puzzles involve the staff activating something so it took us a few minutes to work that out."
• "While the theming and role playing by the host of Blackbeard's Treasure were good, the puzzles in this escape room were underwhelming."
• "Some of them felt a bit gimmicky, another puzzle left us wondering why there was even a puzzle/clue here when it was not needed."
• "The room itself was interesting and different. It is better than a number of other rooms that we've done because of better creativity and the reduced number of padlocks."
• "Some of the puzzles were challenging and fun and the game master jess was really nice and funny. Highly recommend if you enjoy wether you enjoy escape rooms or want to get into them."
