Escapism Chester: Taken

Like Taken Candy From a Baby

Since I was making an on-the-day booking for a team of 2, I chose Taken.

Story

Rescue your kidnapped friend(s) and escape the hostage situation.

Puzzles

On-theme, but incredibly easy. A bit of searching here, a bit of thinking there.

Mise en scene

A straightforward but immersive enough space that did the job of looking like a kidnappers’ hideout.

Final Comments

It would work fine as a beginner room. I should have been braver and booked us a 4/5-star challenge: we received 2 clues and escaped with 25:26 left on the clock.

This was first Escapism room, overall quite an easy room. Shame about the aged puzzle if it wasn’t for this we would have gotten out with 30 minutes remaining

A little plain compared to their other rooms - Although I believe it was on first there. 

Pretty woeful game tbh. Not a great use of space, not very thematic, couldn't hear the video. We absolutely burned through it and then spent about 15 mins on one stupid puzzle that's designed only to waste time and slow people down due to the rest of the game being so easy. It also has nothing to do with the theming of the game.

Ok game but nothing special. They definitely have better games, but this was one of their first games I believe.

Great little room for players new to escape rooms. 

Good first game for people new to the escape world. Puzzles pretty standard for enthusiasts, but still fun non the less.
