Abandoned MineshaftSure Lock Escapes – Cypher Island (Renton)Escape roomIRLGreat set design and attention to detail. No red herrings or heavy branching. Complicated enough to tickle your brain but simple enough to make you feel competent. August was friendly and diligent, and very helpful with a hint when we got stuck once. Wonderful experience all around, and we immediately booked another escape for the next day!
The Seals of MidnightSure Lock Escapes - Stout Oak Adventuring Guild (Kent)Escape roomIRLPITCH. BLACK. It’s not just dim in there. Expect to feel around blindly for the puzzle elements. All the puzzles are straightforward once you find all the elements, yet still very satisfying to complete. Ben was an excellent game wizard, friendly and talkative both before and after, and downright terrifying inside the room, until we asked him to stop. I definitely started hallucinating walls before the end and apparently that’s a thing that happens in total darkness. So be ready for that, it’s not part of the puzzle 😬
