Houdini’s Escape Room Experience Farringdon: Lady Chastity’s Reserve

Lady Chastity’s Reserve absolutely lived up to the hype for us, and I’m thrilled that we chose it for our very first escape room of 2022. Start the year as we mean to go on, eh?

Instead of trying to escape, you're trying to retrieve a bottle of wine; while that makes little practical difference, it's nice to vary the genre a little. The room is one of the physically smallest I've done, though we had a team of five and it felt cozy but not cramped.

The puzzles are structured as a set of tests, which gives a good sense of progression and makes it easier to tell how well or otherwise you're doing. It also means this is a fairly linear room, though I don't remember that be...

A highly thematic room, let down here and there with slightly frustrating puzzles. I think it would have been more enjoyable with two or three people, so I’ll try my next one of their rooms with fewer people.
