Immersive room with a very cool spin on things. One of my favourites.
The GM wasn't very generous with clues 🙁
Did a day in Nottingham and sadly the one we was looking forward to the most was the biggest let down. Swelteringly hot with very little air flow and a kind of musky quality to the whole room made the entire game uncomfortable and made it hard to focus. They told us before going in that is was their hardest room with lots of puzzles. This was true, but only due to lack of signposting, half the game being red herrings and poor lighting mixed with small worn out hard to read clues. This game does have a very unique 'twist' you probably haven't come across anywhere else but I think they expect this to make up for the rest of the flaws.
In an unfortunate situation where I find myself agreeing with every other review on here, the room is stunning, the puzzles are clever and on the whole it’s a great room! In fact we also played another room here which we enjoyed very much!
But we were severely let down by the hosting during our visit, we struggled to find where to start and were given a clue through an audio based system, we did not hear this correctly and asked for it to be repeated, it was not. Later after spending over 10 minutes on another puzzle having overlooked a small detail, we asked for another clue, waving and verbally asking. There was no response. It just felt like the host was not paying attention to us and there was a lack of hints in general that when combined sadly ruined the experience.

One of the challenges of writing reviews of escape rooms is giving a clear impression of the experience while avoiding spoilers. There are some rooms where this is particularly difficult because that means I can't talk about a core element of the room, the most memorable and unique thing about it. Curio is one such game.
What I can say about it is that it's a high quality, original and satisfying game from start to finish. There's a particular style of decor you often see in escape rooms...
We hoped how special Curio would be and upon reflection, we wish had done another game first, to make this our 50th. However, it needed up being number 49 and what an experience it was. The hype of this room is most certainly warranted and it has left a lasting impression on all of us in being in our top 5 of rooms completed. If are visiting Nottingham to tackle one of the tens and tens of rooms on offer, you MUST include this in your bucket list.
Stop what you are doing right now, go to Nottingham, and play this room. Play it before you get spoilered about the special twist. Play it before you play any other escape rooms. And most importantly, play it before drinking – not afterwards!
