HOUNDS – Immersive Experiences: The Explorer’s Diary

Really enjoyed both the overall theme and story and the flow of the puzzles. Hosting was wonderful as well

My favourite of all their games, the host was fantastic. Classic puzzles and some great moments 

Enjoyed this room much more than Southern Discomfort as there was a lot more going on. Hosting and set design again superb. 

As usual with Hounds, the theming and immersion is top-notch, but the hosting here is just on another level entirely - it's absolutely brilliant. Our host was in character the entire time, with some fantastic story-telling and superb one-liners thrown in there. I cannot praise this aspect enough! I've been a little fed up recently with some of the hosting on our recent rooms that we've done elsewhere, but this reminded me how it's supposed to be done and how a great host can elevate the experience! Revived my faith in the UK industry a little bit. 

The room itself is great as well, very good theming throughout and some great tech elements, and the puzzles were fun, if a little on the easy side at times. This is probably my only gripe - there wasn't much brain power required to solve them, it was just a case of figuring out what it was you needed to be doing, then the solution wasn't that difficult to figure out. I might be being a bit harsh there - it didn't affect my enjoyment anyway. 

Overall a fantastic experience that's well worth your time - the hosting of all their games (including this one) is amazing!

Everything you'd expect from Hounds - theatrical, OTT and funny. GM was brilliant and in-character the whole time. Even included our little team mascot in their interactions (I'm sure they don't talk to a frog plushie every day !)

A good range of puzzles, nothing too taxing. There's a fair amount to do but I would say 3/4 is a good team size for this game - 5 felt a little crowded at some points, i would not want to play this game as a 6. 

Not a fan of the new briefing system at hounds but i'll let that slide for the rooms 🙂
