Escape Basildon: The Magic Emporium

A fun game just lacking in content! 

Good game, some fun puzzles, although a little confusing at one stage as very loud music is triggered and everything goes dark apart from flashing lights which just added mayhem and the only way to stop the music/darkness/flashing isn't something logical.. but the volume means there is no way to get a clue.. ended up with the games master coming into the room and confusing us further. 

Not much to do as a 4 as fairly linear. Some cool designs. 

I nearly didn't review this room. As I didn't know if I'd done it. That's the issue with one franchise having so many similar rooms. This was a more basic wizardry room but not the most basic so has to be down the middle in terms of a rating 

Nice to see another variation of quite a repeated theme within the Escape franchise. I almost didn’t play it as I didn’t want to be a replica of a game I’d already played. Magical settings perfect for any fans of the original IP. Some tech within the room which on my occasion failed to connect and was told afterward that the GM did a manual override. Can’t help it sometimes but it broke the “magic”. 

Has a really infuriated smell puzzle… I go nose blind after a few whiffs and then the puzzle become impossible to work out. I think I recall I ended up just swapping the order around enough times until I landed on the right one. 

Excellent theming and the rooms look fantastic. A really fun game with some interesting and fun puzzles. Host very helpful. 

This is a lovely room with some cool physical aspects. It really does look like a magical emporium and there are some delightful details. A fun room if not too challenging.
