Blackbeard's Treasure

Blackbeard's Treasure

Escape Hunt UK - Leeds

The room could do with a refresh, lots of things very worn / ripped / not quite working as they should - I managed to accidentally open something I shouldn’t have with no force in the first few minutes and got told (politely) by the game master which made me a bit wary for the rest of the game. Some puzzles didn’t seem logical to me, we needed lots of clues but maybe it was just us being rubbish. Felt like the clues might’ve also been a bit hasty considering we had 11 minutes to spare when we finished. Very nice welcome area and nice that you can take drinks into the room.

Beautiful, high tech room with nothing illogical once you’ve figured it out. Lots to do in the time limit so would recommend 3 or 4 people. Felt like clues were coming very fast, understand this was due to our slow start however sometimes we were already in the middle of doing what the clue said to do which put a dampener on a few successes. We escaped but were over the time limit. Really grateful for the host for letting us do that and experience the final element of the game.

Break Free Escape Room - Leeds [prev. Escape Reality]

The room was very dark which I didn’t feel was totally necessary for the theme of the room. The room was well designed and in keeping with the theme. Unfortunately there were a few dealbreakers which lead to my negative review. Firstly there is a system where you ask for a clue specifically about one task and it is clear which task the clue is for. However, the answer we received was for the wrong task which led to the staff member coming into help and realising we had the wrong clue - this took up time and broke immersion. It turned out the task had also been tampered with hence our being stuck and this also took up time. One further element later in the game did not work and the GM came in to help. If everything had gone as it should, I would be giving a good rating but this is almost more frustrating!

I was extremely excited to play the Dome and worried I was preparing myself for something that couldn't exist, so tried to be realistic about expectations. I would say it therefore met my expectations.. but I must stress that they were high! It was an excellent escape room and I had an amazing time while I was in there - non-stop fun. I had no clue what was going on but I really didn't care. We took the puzzles as they came, and just got stuck in! What I really want to stress is, don't be put off if you are a group of 2! We both got to experience pretty much everything, it wasn't too hard and the game was adapted cleverly when there were puzzles you couldn't normally solve without more people. I actually think we were a good-sized group and I certainly think 6 would've been a bit much. One element of the room didn't work so if rating out of 5 I'd give 4.5. The fantastic host reacted appropriately, by noticing the glitch and moving us on while at the same time reporting the issue so someone could come to fix it ASAP, but I couldn't help but feel disappointed that we didn't get to experience everything and not knowing whether this would have made a difference in whether we escaped. Slightly anti-climactic ending. I echo all comments about the lobby - very fun place I'd happily have spent hours. Love the self-serve bar, and of course the playback of your game at the end - never seen that anywhere else and it's a nice touch.
