The X-Door Valencia

Just brilliant. Fun and immersive, lots of puzzles, crazy storyline. Don't miss. Contender for my favourite ever room.

Fun, original storyline with some great acting to set the scene. Felt like an old school puzzle room with good variety of scenes, lots of puzzles and a storyline that flowed throughout. The only negatives - parts of the set showed their age, there were a LOT of locks and it sometimes wasn’t easy to establish which one was for which puzzle, one particular scene (using a real phone) is a unique task but in our opinion takes you out of the moment and probably works better for local players who don’t need to worry about time differences. 

Let’s start by saying that I can see why this game has many accolades. The start is hilarious and somewhat menacing. The acting throughout is great, even if they have limited English. Much better than our Spanish! 

Some of the puzzles are very clever, fun to complete and makes you feel like a kid again. 

The only gripes for me, which I think is due to its age, is the number of padlocks and signposting. The padlocks are old and there are a lot of them. It’s hard to know which clue works with which puzzle. That led to some frustration. 

For any non Spanish players, one tip, try to memorise a phone number for someone not in the room. In may come in handy. 

Would still highly recommend.
