Enigma Rooms Wakefield: Arctic Academy

Can you find the Christmas secrets of the box?

This was a nice little puzzle box for the whole family. We liked the puzzles but we did feel like this would have been so much cooler in real life. The digitization let it down a little bit. The navigation was with arrows between the surfaces of a box - a bit disorientating. Very lock-based and neat puzzles.

Fun for the whole family.

I played this game recently, and the imagination involved and the puzzles were truly ingenious.

I am a sucker for puzzles and escape rooms and this really scratched my itch during the lockdown.

The overall experience was excellent and the difficulty is perfectly weighted, and I imagine will be suitable for newcomers and veteran puzzlers alike.

I would heartily recommend it to everyone.

A super festive live avatar virtual game that will put you in the Christmas Spirit and scratch your escape room itch from the comfort of your home! Guided by Elwyn Elf your mission is to help him pass his Arctic Academy exam which takes the shape of a large rotating box with many Christmas secrets and doors to be unlocked. Lovely puzzles which also included the use of technology nicely - this is a well thought through avatar game and one which will leave you with the feeling of warm milk and Christmas cookies. 

Great time playing this room, varied and interesting puzzles, entertaining host. Best (only truly good?) use of Google Maps I've ever seen in a puzzle. Nice reveals too, hard to do good surprises over Zoom but they managed it. Highly recommended

A fun and imaginitive box game with some nice touches of british christmas humor in there. The host is great and makes a great Elwyn the Elf and although this may be his exam to become a real elf hes alsready aced hes exam for camera work as all documentation is in perfect focus. Lots of fun puzzles too, all in all its a festive hug of puzzles and our whole team loved it. A real must play.

Fantastic game, really engaging, great variety of puzzles, and very original. Would recommend it to anyone. 

Loved this game, really fun and well thought out puzzles and our host was brilliant. Would definitely recommend!

I played this game in a team of four:  my husband who sat beside me on the same Zoom connection and a couple of friends on another Zoom connection.  This is the first game I've played by avatar and I really enjoyed it.  Our host/avatar, Elwin the Elf, did a fantastic job of following instructions, without jumping ahead or making instruction giving laborious.  The game itself is festive and full of surprises, with a very cleverly designed puzzle box.  As you'd expect from a Christmas game, it is totally family friendly and very light hearted.  I would definitely recommend this game to anyone looking for something a bit festive in the run up to Christmas.

Played this game as a four. It was our first time playing an avatar room and we all really enjoyed it. Elwyn looked after us and was great fun (even though he seemed a bit tall for an elf, but that may have just been the camera angle). Puzzles had a great flow and were satisfying when solved and opened a lock. I'd definitely recommend for any level of player. 

Strong puzzle box. Good value for money. Nice Christmas spirit.
