Cons:

• "The escape room was good, but when we were leaving Amina was very annoying and intrusive, asking for a 5 stars review."
• "Complete professional who made the day! Will definitely be back. Edit: went back to do another room and the experience was completely different. The game master this time was poor."
• "On arrival there seemed to be only one member of staff on reception who gave us a very good introduction, completely in character however just over halfway through our game we called for help on a puzzle in the way we had been instructed and it took ages to get a response."

Puzzle Design and Room Experience

Pros:

• "Had a great time with blackbeard's treasure room. It was a room full of puzzles, not hidden objects for you to rummage around for."
• "The puzzles were challenging yet engaging, and the immersive environment made the experience even more enjoyable."
• "Our family had such a great visit! The rooms were so well presented and the puzzles were cleverly done."
• "The tasks were fun, clever and entertaining, at some times being challenging and making you think."
• "The Alice in puzzleland has been my favourite escape room to date."
• "The best escape room we have done to date! The room wasn’t like your usual escape room, so much fun!"
• "The puzzles were challenging but really creative and fun."
• "Really fun escape room, really enjoyed the special effects which made the room very exciting."

Cons:

• "Once you had figured out a puzzle, there was still ambiguity if it was done correctly."
• "A lot of the props were broken or poor quality, a lot of wear and tear."
• "We had to call for help on a puzzle, and it took ages to get a response so this affected our overall time."
• "Some of the early puzzles lacked a little context; I think we resorted to randomly spinning barrels."
• "Some of the puzzles felt too hard, and we were too stubborn to ask for help."
• "The operation of a couple of the puzzles might need checking."
• "The challenges were really original - the musical one was tough!"
• "Had a great time but the game didn't flow well."

Cons:

• "Also the price point of 27£ seemed a bit high for a one hour game."
• "For £22 each, it felt like bad value."
• "A lot of the props were broken or poor quality, a lot of wear and tear."
• "The only thing I’d advise to improve the experience is the lighting - I know that dark is the vibe but it made it really hard to see anything."
