Annagramma

Btter than the last two but still a very unnecessary use of violence and a couple of the puzzles were either solved with complicated maths or guesswork, which seems to be not right either way!

Absolutely loved our experience here. We only had time to do one room sadly but we chose Pandora's Box and it was fantastic. We are experienced players and blitzed through and completed the game, only to be told we had actually segued into added bonus (more difficult) puzzles without even realising which had kept us entertained and engaged for another 15 to 20 minutes extra. It was a true mark of respect for the players that they had thought of that and that we didn't even realise it had happened. A brilliant touch. The room is very atmospheric with some very clever tech and effects, chatting to a character throughout the game. Our GM was Tori and she was super sweet, fun and good at her role.

Ok and some nice touches for puzzles but again relies on making shapes for numbers which are sketchy at best! Doesn't make exciting use of the packaging but does use some other parts well. Final deduction relies too heavily on one tiny detail that it is very easy to miss. Good compared to some of the others.

Fantastic venue on a huge campsite come activity park. Fab host, and a clever Introductory warm-up that I have never seen before! Room was cleverly built, puzzles fun and plentiful and in-keeping with the theme, with a couple of great moments and use of items I haven't come across in any other room, plus an ingenious hint system! Really loved this game (60 rooms) as did my mum (6 rooms!) Loved the humour too and looking forward to going back for the other room!

Theme of a cute carnival funfair doesn't match the advertising of a scary clown and the word "delirium". A great looking room at first and so much fun completing all the sideshow games to get parts of the puzzles, but lots of bits were tired, broken, and some just downright dangerous. Could be a fantastic room with some time and energy spent reviving it.

A beautifully themed room with well hidden logical and physical puzzles, plus an additional bonus of collection type challenges at the end which gave it a nice boost half way through. Great GM and beautiful venue in the mall. Fab!

Such a cleverly themed and well thought out room with a twist. A couple of things not quite working fully but we still got out in good time with only a few hints and had a great time doing so.

Just insanely good. Get a copy and play it alone or with friends! So so clever and cunning :)

Better than episode 1 in terms of puzzles, we took one hint and that was for something quite macabre that we wouldn't have thought of doing. Seemed a bit unnecessary as story can still be creepy without the nasty bits. One puzzle solve was ambiguous we thought but we got it right on first try. Overall love the format but story still makes us uneasy!

The pre-event experience and things like merchandise have not improved since the version we did in Angel, but the maze itself and the Mazemaster we had made up for it. They've done really well dressing each zone and the games were fun if a little too difficult at times. We enjoyed our time in the maze itself but again with the tatty tokens in the maze! Could do with a slightly stronger material so they don't tear into little pieces :) all in all a fun experience but glad we managed to get a really good offer on ticket price.

Nice idea and we got into the puzzles eventually but  the first one was solved before we knew what was happening and then we kept being skipped and missing the video calls between each room, therefore any storyline was totally lost on us. Was good to encourage team communication but wasn't as good as those games where you can all click on things together to solve the puzzles. 5 puzzles in total, one or two were very clever but had slow mechanisms that made them frustrating to use. Might work better if one person streams and the rest contribute.

Please note that any of the reviews before this one are from when the company was owned and run by someone else. The new owners have made significant changes to the venue and all three rooms, improving the puzzles and flow. We loved the humour in Head Chef, there is a lot of good searching and puzzling to be down in a relatively small space, and everything fitted in very well with the theme. Your goal is to figure out the ingredients of a secret recipe then enter them into a panel before the sweary head-chef gets back. A lot of fun was had, and our only hint was for something we hadn't properly engaged with. Very fun room and decent logic puzzles.

I just cannot pick enough of the positive tags above to describe this room. From the beautiful location, the warm and passionate owners/GM, the fab theme, incredible decoration and attention to detail, the props and use of tech in the room, the puzzles themselves, and the difficulty level which kept even 2 experienced players guessing. Located on a beautiful farm park with animals, kids activities and more, this room is still in its infancy but blew us away, especially as the design and build is from relative newcomers. Definitely one to include on your trip if you're in Cambridgeshire, make sure to save time to visit the farm and cafe too though! They are opening their second room in September and we can't wait to go back and play again.

Really good fun from the time you arrive at the unusual location, a place to grab a drink beforehand on site and then you're inducted to the game and off you go. 3 areas of puzzles of nice variety and difficulty, handy hint system  and video and audio interjections from the cast. Nice that you get your own route and pace and are not being herded through with another team hot on your tail. Nice merch to buy at the end. As a Sherlock fan I loved it but you don't need to have watched it to enjoy it.
