Escapable Ossett: Titanic

We originally booked for Prank Heist, as we came to play with our young nephew for his second ever room. 3 of the 4 of us had already played Titanic, but the reviewer cannot read a calendar and had booked it for the wrong day. 

Michael was brilliant in finding a solution for my idiocy and making sure our nephew didn’t leave for Cyprus without playing a game. 

The room is brilliant, logical and with plenty to do. Players with a few rooms’ experience will have no difficulties following the hints. 

You need to be able to crawl a little bit, be ok with the occasional loud noise and a little bit of darkness. 

All of the rooms we have done at Escapable are brilliant, and we’ve never had a host who has been anything but brilliant.

Once again, thanks to Michael for squeezing us in and making sure we had a superb time. 

A great take on the Titanic theme, which was maintained well throughout! I loved the use of audio and environmental effects in here to help with the immersion, especially in the second half. There was a good variety of puzzles but not really anything we hadn't seen before in one way or another and they felt quite predictable given the theme. That said, everything worked, there were no issues, it all seemed to be well maintained and the host was fantastic (especially since we had to keep tag-teaming members in and out to deal with the flat tyre we gained on the way here!). There is a small amount of crawling required to move between areas but should be manageable for most people and I imagine could be avoided if needed).

A thoroughly enjoyable romp through the Titanic with a great set build and appropriate puzzles for the genre. A bit of clambering around involved which was fun for us oldies 😂 and great use of smoke/audio to enhance the immersion.

Great hosting from Mike and we're looking forward to going back to play the other rooms very soon.

Great room, lots of different features and sounds along with theatrics. Enjoyed - needed a couple of nudges on this! But escaped and enjoyed nonetheless!!

This is once again, full of original puzzles and a particularly fun one at the end.

However, when comparing the room to the more recent offerings from Escapable, such as Outtatime and Marv the Monkey, you can see the  less techy nature of the puzzles and immersion in the narrative is a little lacking, hence the lower review.

There was also one puzzle that had slightly broken props (they said they were ordering new ones) which caused some confusion to us in the game.

However, still an enjoyable game!
