Escape Rooms Cheltenham: The Inside Job

This is an odd one to try and rate given the nature of Cheltenham Escape Rooms. The current setup is to create a smaller ER experiences that only run for 1/2 months.

Because of this (and the fact that the room is a flat fee of £60), the rating will vary depending on whether cost of the experience is taken into account.

The obvious downside to having such a high turnover of escape room stories/designs is that the set quality will suffer - there is less time to design and build puzzles/content, and also less reason to spend large sums of money of props puzzles that will only last 2 months. The flipside of this again is the cost being low, and locals being able to get a new experience on a relatively regular basis.

I had a reasonable time with the puzzles; had issues with a prop issue or two and a couple of red herrings. But relative to the cost, still vaguely enjoyable.

Cheltenham Escape Rooms are slowly moving away from the current model to have longer running games, which in turn *should* mean an uptick in quality - will be interested to see the new designs.
