Escapologic: Cryptic

Our first ever escape room so we weren’t sure what to expect and this is probably what lead to our downfall! I know this game has closed now but still a fond memory as it was our first room years ago.

Set was immersive, however we did find at times we were struggling to see due to the poor lighting- I know this was in keeping with the theming but at times it felt like we were failing elements due to not being able to see rather than not actually understanding the puzzles.

A lot of this room felt like it was about finding things, and only now as more experienced players do I understand where we went so badly wrong- more than likely due to our nervousness of what we could/couldn’t touch or turn over and what to expect etc. First time player nerves! 

There were some very cleverly done puzzles that my friends who’ve done this room and I still remember fondly. It was a good escape room to start with on our journey into escape rooms and I’m glad we played it, it was definitely an eye opener into making sure you thoroughly search your escape room first!
