History Mystery

This was my first escape room and still one of my favourites. The historical significance of the building and how it tied into the story made it really special. The host was lovely. Such a shame they never reopened after covid.

I loved that this game highlights the different ways Christmas is celebrated around the world and would best be played in a casual way, taking time to read the information for each country. 

This game is non-linear and as 4 players we were able to get through it rather quickly, but it should take a good bit longer for smaller teams.

Really nice room right in the middle of Norwich, with a strong history as you'll be in the old medieval streets of the city! Really impressive.

Also, really smart use of tools and gadgets for a room that they pack every day for guided tours and research!

Located in Norwich's historic Guildhall building, all seven of of us enjoyed ourselves for a well-spent hour.

Archived Alive played rather like TV's Treasure Hunt, but sadly without the helicopter. There was plenty of looking things up in conveniently placed books to facilitate the solving of puzzles based on the Fine City's rich history. Rather a lot defaulted to working out the codes of combination locks, but certainly the experience combined entertainment and education. There was plenty to occupy all seven of us, four adults and three teens, throughout. As it happened, we fell several minutes behind schedule - perhaps due to inexperience - and ended up a little way short of completing.

Thanks also to the friendly and well-informed staff.
