Escape Quest: Amazon Escape

A room that oozes Crystal Maze. If you always dreamed of playing a game in the Aztec Zone then now's your chance. Some fun puzzles, although slightly over-reliance on padlocks and a disappointing final puzzle meant it wasn't quite perfect.

Amazon Escape was the first of four games we played at Escape Quest. It’s an interesting venue: despite four different games, they only ever run one game at a time, so you get the full attention of the staff (also the owners). It’s an odd choice that appears to be an purposeful decision based on the sort of service they want to offer – there’s certainly enough room in the lobby and space around the games to comfortably cater for two teams if they wanted, but this seems to work for them, and it’s certainly to the benefit of the player.
