Exite: 4 Elements
Helsinki, Jun 2016
The theming in this room is not as strong as in Exite’s others, and it has a somewhat linear sequence of puzzles. It uses a progression through the elements structure, which both helps give a sense of clear progress and also fits with the abstract bu… (more)
Exite: The Curse
Helsinki, Jun 2016
We were one of the first groups to play this room, and at the time no-one had beaten it – we didn’t either, though we missed it only by a matter of seconds. It was difficult mainly because of the sheer quantity of puzzles to get through, which arguab… (more)

TRAP: Bomb Room
Budapest, Aug 2014
I’m writing this review more than two years after playing the TRAP rooms, so my memory is unreliable and they may have changed anyhow – the Bomb Room for one appears to no longer exist. Also, we played all four rooms in a crazy consecutive burst of e… (more)
