Escape Nation: Temple of Shadows: Breaking the Curse

This is a really good game. We didn’t escape and really needed our team of five for this room. Lots and lots of puzzles, barely a padlock in sight. This is a difficult game and would suit experienced players or a bigger team. Loved the original and clever puzzles. Great hosting as always from Escape Nation. 

We've enjoyed the other games at Escape Nation and were looking forward to their newest game. Fantastic use of technology and an interesting variety of (sometimes challenging) puzzles. 

We found all 8 and had a great experience in this well-built, interesting room.

Found all 8 and no hints! 

We loved this game. We don't normally play as a 5 any more, but this room had plenty of space and activities to keep us all engaged.

Can't wait for the next room to be released!

Aabsolutely loved this game. Our fist time venturing to the west midlands for a room and it did not disappoint. There are plenty of puzzles to keep you going and the theme was great. Our hosts were fantastic too. We will definitely be back to try the other games 

We had a blast, thank you!

Absolutely loads to do in this game to achieve all 8 runes. Really enjoyed the step up in build quality and more novel ways of entering solutions in this game. Some quite tough puzzles which had very satisfying aha moments when we finally made the links!

Had a blast escaping from this brilliantly thematic experience today hosted by the lovely Matt and Luke. We really appreciated the slightly different mechanic and enjoyed having the option to maximise our experience by finding every puzzle solution, but still there would have been the option of being able to escape without every puzzle solved - it’s a nice way of making every team feel like winners in some way. Of course we were pleased that we found all symbols, especially as a team of 2. Everything worked really well and flowed beautifully. I especially loved how the majority of the puzzles were beautifully made, tactile, physical props - very few padlocks in the traditional sense in this room, and those that are there fit the story well. Lots for two to split up and do, but I must say that I think teams larger than 4 at most will find the space a bit small and maybe one or two people will be left twiddling their thumbs. I think maybe 3 is an optimum team number for this room, although this depends on experience. A really incredibly themed and lovingly crafted room that we were really pleased we stopped off in Stafford to do - just off the M6 it’s incredibly accessible on a longer journey, so what are you waiting for! We’ll be back!
