Escape City Hamm: Top Secret

My biggest problem with Game over is that the staff are clearly running multiple games.. 3+  at once. This massively impacts the delivery of your clues. 

Broken tech, games host had to enter multiple times, forgot to actually shut the door and the host was running multiple games so when we needed a clue we couldn't get one. No good.

Worst game we have played and we have done a lot! Made an account here to warn people to stay away from this room.

The room has some great ideas that are fairly unique but very simple, if it's got a A4 page of instructions slapped on it then you know what it's for. 

The main issue is at the end of the room there was a dexterity puzzle with a wire and a loop, like operation, this was not working we spent 15m on this last puzzle and got to the end with the timer still counting down (16 seconds to complete the puzzle before it resets and you have to start again) and it wouldn't register that we had competed it. The host told us to make sure the loop is against the bolt to make sure that it registers but we had the thing flat against it and it would not budge.

When the host entered to collect us after failing she was very unapologetic and wouldn't even attempt to test it to see if it works and only said "I'd worked earlier today" funny because we were the first booking today. 

I highly recommend that you venture further into Edinburgh and partake in one of the much better rooms there. Very very disappointed that we wasted £60 on this room.

One of the worst games I played with illogical puzzles and no flow between puzzles to advance. The fractured design of the room seems to purely be for a low success rate which the owner of the game in Amsterdam (where I played this) proudly gloated about as a badge of honour. With 50+ games under our belt at the time we played we were successful escapists but there was no enjoyment and only frustration. It is a shame as the game could be good with more logic and a structure. 

The puzzles are not the worst, but as a linear game there is no line to follow between the puzzles and there is a ton of red Heerings, this did make for a bad experience.

But what really substracts from this experience is to complete lack of qualified/decicated hosting, got clues to a puzzle we where not yet at, came in and congratulated us for completing it room when the time was up even though we had been done for some time(we just didn't realise this)

If the hosting is the same for the rest of their games then keep away from this place. 

Some very ingenious puzzles here which will require all your wits to solve, and clever use of different technology. For me I found the decor a little sparse and the story a bit lacking, so immersion wasn’t as good as some other rooms.

If you’re a big fan of the Mission: Impossible films, however, you’ll definitely enjoy this l

A really good room with some interesting puzzles. Some inventive ways of completing some challenges however the theming was a little obscure.

Starting off in a room that resembles something from prison break, moving into a room that resembles a military base base / nuclear bunker, into a vault that is something out of Entrapment. A very eclectic mix of themes but overall was a really fun game to play. 

Not an awful lot of content but interesting none the least.
