The Panic Room Harlow: Carnevil

Really clever from the get-go. A fantastic host, absolutely great puzzles and theming. Top notch. This is one of the best we've done. 

One of the carnival games malfunctioned during our session but the host did an exceptional job to ensure minimal disruption to the room.  The very end doesn't quite match the level of the room as a whole, but still well worth doing. Lots of explore! Can be overwhelming but in a good way. Really great room. Worth travelling for. 

Great set dressing and was fun to play with my group! Everyone got involved and is the best room at panic room Harlow

If it was the first half of the game for the whole game, this could be up there with the top games around. Unfortunately the ending fell flat in both enjoyment, mood, and execution. 

I was quite looking forward to this game based on the reviews and for the most part it holds up.  The Carnival setting and themed games in the early part are well done (albeit with a degree of tiredness prevalent in the venue as a whole).  Where it loses points is the final puzzle, the puzzle itself is fine and it's relatively obvious what you have to do but the execution led to a degree of frustration.

I did like this a lot - it's huge and there's a lot to do. Two niggles - the first puzzle, which is VERY easy - the lock was stuck so we lost about five mins and our host should have stepped in. The second is that at times it's far too loud. I'm autistic so have noise sensitivity issues and despite commenting several times to the GM, the sometimes (purposefully) quite stifling music was really overwhelming.

We had Cameron hosting our game here l, he was fantastic and really made the game special. The room is really well themed and immersive, felt like a proper carnival. There was plenty to do here. 

The set in this room is simply incredible! You genuinely feel as if you're at a creepy carnival. Wholeheartedly recommend as the puzzles both physical and traditional are so much fun. We didn't make it out in time but still a room for the books.

Story - there was 2 brother named percevil (bad guy) and Arnie (good guy) who was controlling a carnival. Since the good guy passed away percevil has been acting strange and carnival more strange you must release arnie spirit or you will stuck in the carnival forever!

Theming - best theming I had ever seen I genuinely felt like I was in a carnival which was incredible. There was alot of animatronic throughout the room which was creepy and amazing. As soon as I enter the room my mouth was wide open and said WOW!

Puzzle - the puzzle throughout our experience has been incredible I never had so much fun before since old father time! There was 2 puzzle that was either wasnt working or too difficult (last puzzle 🤫) there was a few padlock and alot of technology (fun edition)

Clue system - via speakers

Positive - theming was brilliant, puzzle was incredible and fun, love the story, love the music, animatronic was insane, love the smell in the room and the GM was superb

Negative - there was only 2 puzzle that was extremely stressful but we was tired as we done 5 rooms in 1 days!

Overall experience - this is my 2nd favourite room of all time everything about this room was incredible. This room is a must do! Bring at least a team of 5 as there Is alot to do and the room is big! Also there is flashing and smoke effect.
