Escape Room: The Mummy

Tallinn, Jul 2017

With a couple of hours spare before leaving Tallinn, naturally we squeezed in one final escape game, and the only venue who could provide a game in the narrow time window we had available was Escape Room, who we’d visited on a previous trip. The only… (more)

Claustrophobia: Gravity

Tallinn, Jul 2017

A year ago I visited Tallinn’s Claustrophobia branch and saw the beginnings of their Gravity game under construction. It sounded so remarkable and unique that this year while playing games in Riga, we tacked on a return visit to Tallinn expressly to … (more)

Claustrophobia: 221B Baker Street

Tallinn, Jul 2017

For some reason Sherlock Holmes keeps leaving in the middle of a case and so we find ourselves again clearing up his mess in another unsolved mystery.

The entry way is delightful, featuring a beautiful dog with lovely eyes (albeit looking slightly a… (more)

Affect Laboratories: Interview

Tallinn, Jul 2017

First things first, this is the sort of game where you may prefer to know as little as possible about it before playing it. So you might want to stop at the one sentence version of this review, which is: this is a remarkable game that you should go p… (more)

Reality Game: Radiation

Tallinn, Jul 2017

The game begins with a briefing about an upcoming terror attack on a power station. Terrorists plan to send the facility critical and so trigger an explosion.

Escape Room: Abandoned Factory

Tallinn, Jun 2016

The success rate for the Factory was apparently even lower than for the Lab (a.k.a. ‚hardest room in Estonia‘ Lab – at time of playing, there had been only three successful teams, ever (!).

It’s very linear and unusually difficult, consisting of a s… (more)

Escape Room: Prison Break

Tallinn, Jun 2016

This is much more of a ’normal‘ room than the two others we did with this company, both in terms of difficulty level and style.

It’s a relatively small escape room, and both our teams finished it quickly, so experienced teams may find it on the easy… (more)

Escape Rooms: Secret Lab

Tallinn, Jun 2016

This room appears to no longer be open, so this review is purely for comparison.

It was billed as the ‚hardest room in Estonia‘, and it definitely ranks as one of the hardest rooms I’ve tried. Unfortunately, that was partly because of gratuitous use… (more)
