City Mazes Oxford: Subject 11

TRULY TERRIBLE - DO NOT PLAY THIS ROOM

Made the mistake of returning to City Mazes in the hope that it might be somewhat better - was once again mistaken (of course).

Met by a bored looking host who scrolled on her phone whilst giving us the safety briefing before sticking us in the room with a walkie-talkie and a digital timer. Room is completely plain save for some polystyrene-like material sprayed on the door into the next equally plain room. Puzzles were illogical and non-sensical, had to radio for help multiple times only to be given clues that made no sense or told by the host that she didn’t know where in the room we were (this is a common experience at City Mazes, it should be noted). Host ended up coming into the room and solving the puzzle for us, and telling us that ‘it didn’t made sense to me either when I played it’. Opened the door to be greeted by a laminated sheet of A4 telling us we escaped and to go to the reception, where we were asked if we enjoyed the room and sent on our merry way.

Played every room there (don’t ask me why, I should learn from past mistakes), and they’re all shocking, but this one was by far the worst. Don’t waste your money.
