A wild ride. I chose Paradox as the one game we’d play in Athens. It definitely delivered. As some have mentioned it’s worn around the edges. Definitely an older game with more analog puzzles. I still marveled at the ingenuity and delighted in the immersive spaces. The quirky storyline unfolded logically, getting more and more absurd as you found yourself facing more and more challenges. It’s a bit camp, but that works for me. Personally I loved the ending. We (a jet lagged team of two) totally came to the wrong conclusion, but the game master graciously helped us find our way so we could experience the game in its entirety. As someone who has predominantly experienced the typical US escape room (briefing about rules in the lobby with a short story set up) I appreciated the immersion from start to finish.

I did not dislike this game, but if I could give it 3 out of 5 stars I would. We had an element work incorrectly and pushed us ahead to the solution before it was time to finish. The GM was cool and let us walk through the puzzles we missed because of it. Overall the theme is funny and well executed. The room itself had a decent amount of reading, which is hard to do as a group. It falls into the category of mid level, industrial park, acoustical tile ceiling experiences. The set is solid but homemade, the puzzles made sense and were challenging enough to be entertaining, the theme was unique and fun, but it won’t be one I remember down the road.

Overall this is a fun, well designed game. The theme is consistent and the room decor as well as the puzzles support the story line. There are not an abundance of puzzles (9 or 10 I think) so we enjoyed playing as a couple. I wouldn’t play with more than 4 people. The clues are a mechanism of the story telling given in English in character. Although some felt weirdly timed (in one case coming after we’d completed the task). We enjoyed the unique interaction of inputting answers in the second stage of the game. My only criticism is that the answers to the word clues were not in English (we played the English version of the game). That said, it’s possible they were not in German either and rather words of the devil character who guides you along in the game. In fact, it’s possible the audio guidance said as much and we just missed it. We enjoyed playing this game and would recommend it to English speakers visiting the area.

This is a fairly old school execution compared to the many highly immersive games found in the industry. A simply designed set with a fair number of puzzles. The game is showing some wear and tear, but gameplay was fun and logical. Puzzles weren’t particularly ground breaking or super well aligned to the theme. Maybe we were in a collectors library? But the decor was very sparse and spare and the intro was in a language I can’t speak so I’m not really sure. The theme itself was at best loosely held together by the games title. My expectations were low as there were no reviews here and only a few on google. As someone who has played games across the spectrum I really felt that this was a sincere attempt that delivers an okay experience, but won’t blow your mind. The props and puzzles are earnest, but the result is mediocre. We had fun. We did a good number of puzzles. We escaped as a team of two.

We did this room as a team of two, which I like to believe increased the difficulty for us a bit. There are a lot of puzzles and the room is pretty good sized. Pros: logical, largely linear puzzle play, generally good way finding, all the puzzles and props were well aligned with the storyline. Beautiful and immersive room. Great tech. Cons: our game master didn’t speak English and we don’t speak Italian so the initial briefing was a bit challenging and done through the translate app. We found at least one puzzles English translation to be confusing and took a while to sort it out. Some of the doors or mechanisms opening were not obvious or they were sticky and broke the two finger rule so we’d wander about wasting time. Overall I’d recommend this room. It was still a lot of fun

This game is average at best. It’s one of the cheapest games in Switzerland, which I suppose is a plus. But the gameplay isn’t cohesively tied to a storyline or particularly creative. A lot of counting and searching for numbers to input into the many locks until you’ve found the correct one. The clue system is just the game master entering the room randomly to tell you when you’re off course. It is at best a basic mom and pop handmade offering. At worst it’s a poorly constructed cash grab in a tourist town. I love escape rooms and my expectations were low based on reviews online. I still had some satisfactory moments solving a couple puzzles, but overall this isn’t really worth the time or money.
