TV monitor timer broke within a few minutes, GM said they would prompt us/give time checks. They did neither until 10 minutes to go, at which point we had no chance of completing. Such a shame as we then missed out on the big finish
I just couldn't get into this one. Some of the clues and puzzles didn't seem very clear on what you had to do. And it took us a good 10 minutes to even get started. Another one of the not so great ones by the Escape Hunt franchise.
Escape Hunt rooms are always brilliant - but this one was maybe just too much for just the 2 of us.
The first bit of the room was fine, breezed through that no problem. But the second bit was quite time consuming. One task/puzzle took a very long time to complete as the equipment was just not quite up to scratch, had definitely seen better days.
The theming was ok. The puzzles were a bit nonsensical and were clearly too much for us as we failed to escape! Our GM reckoned we were about 5 mins away from finishing.
I was super excited to finally play this room being a big Doctor Who fan but unfortunately left sorely disappointed. On entry, the room looked worn out and you could see signs of quick fixes which diminished quality. Throughout the game, we found puzzles didn’t make much sense or flow to each other, often needing to ask for a clue to point us in the right direction. A couple of puzzles had issues including the final step, which due to being broken meant be failed the room!
Considering it’s a licensed BBC game, I had hoped that the standard of the room quality would’ve at least been kept high but clearly not. Definitely draws people in on the premise and then fails to deliver.
On a side note, the hosts were both lovely and the venue is nice, just not the room for me!

While there are any number of escape rooms that carefully skirt intellectual property laws with thinly veiled 'homages' to popular franchises, fully licensed games are much rarer, and so it was with much fanfare that Escape Hunt announced their official Doctor Who game Worlds Collide. It differs from their other offerings in requiring at least three players and costing a higher ticket price. (I didn't see anything in the room that was impossible to do with two people, so if you're okay with the ...
I have to say I'm slightly ambivalent - on one hand, the room is filled with obvious and not-so-obvious references, including a few voice-overs by Jodie Whittaker herself. But as a room, it's not particularly impressive nor clever. Even the inventory control system is fairly basic - images are pasted directly in your team's shared Google Doc. The room "does the job", for sure, and the theme ensured I'd have a good time, but that was about it.
Can you help the Dr protect the universe???
