Enigma Rooms Watford

This is a scare room. You can ask for them to make it less scary which we did and they happily obliged which meant no jump scares, lighting atmospheric rather than terrifying.

This is the only room we’ve ever not fully completed out of 25-30 so that was disappointing.  Many other rooms where we are only a couple of minutes away we have been given the couple of minutes and the host was happy for us to walk through the remainder at the end of this but ideally I would have liked the extra couple of minutes to do it in game. 

The puzzles are all logical and enjoyable and it is atmospheric in here.  

A nice room, a good combination of locks and automatic stuff, a very interesting addition to the clue delivery system that id not seen before too. 

We found it quite easy and flew through it relatively quick, the puzzles are logical theres nothing confusing, no red herrings or anything that takes a frustratingly long time. 

A good well thought out fun room with lots to see and do. Will be back to do the other one. 

Great theming and variety of puzzles throughout, but perhaps a little easier than expected. We successfully escaped as a group of four adults in 33 mins with no hints.

Unfortunately, there were a couple of times the GM had to enter the room which slightly disrupted our flow; (1) where a handle fell off and needed to be fixed mid-game and (2) where a door into another escape room opened automatically. 

Being older escapologists, there’s a little warning that this involves a level of crawling! That said ,both of the Watford enigma rooms are among our favourite ones that we’ve done (so far). The attention to atmosphere and detail in the sets is great and the hosting is friendly. The Chapel is a spooky tale (albeit not scary) requiring a level of observation that we were sometimes lacking in. But it taught us a lesson for future rooms though and we are grateful.
