The BunkerEscape Stirling - ArcadeEscape roomIRLWOW. That's all I could say coming out of this. Don't you just love unique themes, set pieces that make the theme come alive, and rooms that are pure immersion? I honestly wasn't expecting much going into this! The website makes it sound like your typical nuclear military WW2 room which are a dime a dozen, but then the Morty listing here has a separate story (the real one), something that I thought was a bit... odd? I am trying not to say anything that spoils the room, because I basically went in blind and it made it so much better. Take a trip to Stirling. Play The Bunker. It is amazing. It is unique. This even rivals some of the best ones that I've done across Europe in Greece and the Netherlands, and it's definitely one of the best in Scotland.
Curse of the PharaohEscape Hunt - GlasgowEscape roomIRLUnfortunately broken tech, lots of GM controlled moments that didn't line up with what we were doing, and a debrief that involved staff lying to us straight to our faces. Nice set. Not great.
Ocean’s EscapeEscape GlasgowEscape roomIRLWell... it was at least marginally better than the Casino room we did in Idaho, but that's not saying much because that one was a carpeted room, an IDEA table, and one small roulette wheel! This one feels a little run-down, even though, as far as I am aware, it's not that old(?) Either way, the puzzles themselves did manage to flow reasonably well. It's about par for the course for a room by Escape anyway - A borderline thumbs up.
Time CrystalsEscape GlasgowEscape roomIRLJuuuuust no. Feels so mean to have to say it, but this is not it. It might be one of the worst that Escape have ever installed all over the UK. Granted, I haven't even seen many down South, but this one just makes you feel sad because i'm sure whoever designed it didn't have this in mind. Or maybe they did, wow. It's not helped by the broken tech - felt like half the room was broken, and yet, knowing this, they still let us play it. I feel sorry for the GMs.
