Headlock Escape Rooms: Cracking Christmas

Clearly a portable game re-purposed for online use.  Very nice GM and good integration of Christmas elements.  As is often the case with non-linear games, we spent quite a bit of time trying to puzzle out clues whose purpose was crystal clear once other elements were uncovered.  Appreciated the personalized element, and am sure that kids would love it (although as overly task oriented middle aged people we were a bit grumpy that it didn't fit into actually moving towards the solution). 

Out in 53 mins but we weren’t rushing really.  Really liked the personalisation in the game and the interactivity. Some good puzzles and work has gone into making the puzzles work well and look good. Artwork on the walls was described as “Van Gogh” (at least it wasn’t all Picasso!). Liked the Christmas jumper too....

I play-tested this room, and it's my favourite Christmas themed room so far. It is semi puzzle-box, but there's enough extra stuff going on that it feels a lot more advanced than a puzzle box. Great value for money too.

I competely loved this game, from the character of Bob to the inventiveness of the puzzles to the fun and colour and everything festive about each and every puzzle. Its just what I wanted from a Christmas room, a fun experience but warm and fuzzy, kinda like an escape room version of your favourite Christmas jumper.
Joel (sorry.. Bob!) does a great job at keeping in theme and is wonderful at subtely clueing you with camera work. A great family game, its a must play.
