The Flaming PearlEclipse EscapeEscape roomIRLThis room was flat-out brilliant. Instantly jumped to my top 5. At first glance, it might seem a bit overwhelming, but it only took a minute to figure out where we should start, and everything from that point on was super straightforward. I quite liked being able to spend my time working on puzzles rather than wasting time figuring out where we should be looking. I really enjoyed the mix of puzzle types in the room. I appreciated that although there were starting points for many puzzles, there was a clear flow for which puzzles we should focus on and where we should move to each stage. The progress wheel was also a handy tool.
Knights TemplarEclipse EscapeEscape roomIRLKnights Templar was an excellent room for two experienced players. We did the advanced version of the game and finished in around 45 minutes. The mix of tech/mechanical puzzles was good, not too much of one or the other. Everything worked well and was well-themed. The first space seemed a little sparse initially, but as you progress, it makes sense and escalates.
Knight in the MuseumMindshift Escape RoomsEscape roomIRLI'd rate this as Mindshift's best room so far. The puzzles were novel and varied with a good mix of physical and techy. It didn't feel like we were just doing the same thing over and over. The story was cute but not really integrated into the room very much.
Spyscape [Immersive Experience]SPYSCAPEEscape roomOther Not an escape room, but the museum has a few similar minigames to do with decoding messages or solving logic puzzles. All in all it's very nice looking, but very short (the website says it takes an hour but we were done in 25 minutes). Remember, it's not an escape room, so getting in and out quickly definitely isn't a good thing. There are a few minigames and challenges designed to help build your spy profile, which you can then buy at the end for an extra £10. It's no more "immersive" than the standard exhibition at the Science Museum.
