Game Over Edinburgh: Top Secret

Worst game we have played and we have done a lot! Made an account here to warn people to stay away from this room.

The room has some great ideas that are fairly unique but very simple, if it's got a A4 page of instructions slapped on it then you know what it's for. 

The main issue is at the end of the room there was a dexterity puzzle with a wire and a loop, like operation, this was not working we spent 15m on this last puzzle and got to the end with the timer still counting down (16 seconds to complete the puzzle before it resets and you have to start again) and it wouldn't register that we had competed it. The host told us to make sure the loop is against the bolt to make sure that it registers but we had the thing flat against it and it would not budge.

When the host entered to collect us after failing she was very unapologetic and wouldn't even attempt to test it to see if it works and only said "I'd worked earlier today" funny because we were the first booking today. 

I highly recommend that you venture further into Edinburgh and partake in one of the much better rooms there. Very very disappointed that we wasted £60 on this room.

One of the worst games I played with illogical puzzles and no flow between puzzles to advance. The fractured design of the room seems to purely be for a low success rate which the owner of the game in Amsterdam (where I played this) proudly gloated about as a badge of honour. With 50+ games under our belt at the time we played we were successful escapists but there was no enjoyment and only frustration. It is a shame as the game could be good with more logic and a structure. 

My biggest problem with Game over is that the staff are clearly running multiple games.. 3+  at once. This massively impacts the delivery of your clues.
