Unreal Sant Martí: Distrito 111

Barcelona, Jan 2025

Rated between 4.5 and 5 out of 5
Like almost all the Unreal games I’ve played, with Distrito 111 you’re expected to enter the game exactly at your appointment time; you enter straight into the first area of the game, put your things in a trunk and begin playing without seeing any ve… (more)

Rated between 3.5 and 4 out of 5

Outline Escape Room: Outline

Barcelona, Jan 2025

Rated 5 out of 5
Outline is superlative in a number of ways. Including for the most extravagant use of smoke – I didn’t realise a smoke machine was capable of creating such a fog that you can’t even see your own outstretched hands. The hosts did say at the end that t… (more)
