Escape room

The Escape Theory

Langstaff Manor

Located at the back left side of a plaza, with minimum, easily missable sineage- maybe more of a mapping issue though, directions lead you to the middle of the plaza but this location is around the side/towards the back.

Puzzles felt unintuitive, flow felt slightly jagged- Mag locks and letter/number locks mainly, some differing iterations, but they need work

Atmosphere was fairly done, for an old manor it made sense that things were dusty and falling apart- for an escape room venue that hasn't been around that long? Pretty disappointing. Some puzzles had malfunctioning/slow-to-respond tech, walkie communication was unclear on receival, it's rough when a game master has to come into a room to check out what's going on/if the puzzle mechanism is working. Moreover, we sat down for a good chunk of a series of puzzles- there just wasn't much to do while one person went to work and the information to assist was within arm's reach.

This venue is very well decorated, impressively so to the theme, but please take better care of your props & rooms- it's disappointing to see so much dust, scratched floorboards, wall trim falling off, puzzle pieces being so worn, things being difficult to read, puzzles not working as intended... And the sound design being poor as well :( leaves a sour taste in the mouth, even though I wanted to like this place.
