Clue HQ Birmingham: The Hellevator

Story is a little long at the start of the game and we did get a little bored which isn't really what you want. 

Game concept was great though and unique which is a plus. 

There were a couple of elements that were broken in our room however, one of which did make a puzzle unsolvable without having a partial answer from our host.

I really liked this room, unfortunately as its time in life its looking very tatty and loved, which didn't affect our game play, it just damped the "wow" moment when walking. 

This aside this is a really well designed room. 

Dark, gritty and a bit psychologically intense.

Impressed how much they crammed into the space! Intro was good and really painted the theme well. The special effects suit the room perfectly.

Puzzles - Lots of padlocks and codes. Some good interactive bits. Mostly linear. Some puzzles I instantly clicked with, some I didn’t. Loved the tilting puzzle - very clever!  I don’t think I’d have ever solved the pipes pressure puzzle without a clue.

Lauryn GMd this for us and did a really great job of letting us explore and make mistakes but always got us back on track when down a rabbit hole.

Overall a good game.

Unique and well worth a visit. 

I really enjoyed this game - it's so cleverly done. A couple of illogical thought processes going on with a couple of puzzles but you can forgive it given the amount of fun and adrenaline the game gives. 

It was an intense game but incredible tech - don't want to give the game away but it moves.

Really enjoyed playing this. It's a little creepy with a few jump scares but once you're past the long video intro nothing is as scary as the evil Dr Psik in the video (so scary!). The whole idea is cool and the lift itself is very clever. They're are a lot of padlocks and it's not obvious which padlock goes with which answer but we honestly didn't mind that.

It's getting a bit tired and the doors could do with a better seal but these are minor issues. 

A lot of fun, nicely silly-scary, really loved this. We only played it because Miyalock wasn't working so we'll be back. 

Game is past its prime, very rough around the edges. Game play was great if you get past the 30 minute intro video...

Great idea for a theme but this room really needs some TLC. The puzzles were great, but things were broken to the point you couldn't complete the puzzle and the theming looked tired.

Also, the video intro goes on wayyy too long.

Qunite a tough room for 2 but very enjoyable and unique. Similar premise to Curio (almost) but much better looked after than curio

Had so much fun. Anyone who plays this should enjoy it! Only critique would be there are a few hidden things which are hard to find or realise what you should do. It’s still so immersive it doesn’t matter

This is so atmospheric - but not too scary. We were all screaming at other by the end because we knew we were close!! Eventually escaping with just 3 seconds to go!! It was awesome.
