On April 10th 1912 the largest ship ever build left Southampton on her maiden voyage. She was called the ship of dreams, transporting people to New York in the height of luxury. Just 4 days into the journey disaster struck as she collided with an iceberg. On board, as first class passengers, with the impending doom; what would you do to escape the ill-fated ship?

I think this has to be at the very bottom of my list of enjoyment. It was obvious that puzzles were broken and instead of removing parts of the puzzle which were collected along the way they have been left in. I admit that our brains were not the sharpest today due to a late night but the room didn’t flow well at all. The puzzles which did work and made sense were very easy. The ending was also very disappointing and a kind of ‘oh have we done it?’ moment. During the debrief with the GM at the end we asked what ‘this’ and ‘that’ did and it was obvious he was covering for broken equipment. This is the first of their rooms we have attempted and will not be returning for the others.

Another mixed bag from Houdini’s but still overall enjoyable. The host knew their stuff, full of interesting facts about the Titanic, very cheery and clearly enjoys their job. Although, perhaps a little to trigger-happy with the Yes/No hint system and the telephone hints. For example I’d ask my partner a question and the host would reply with the Yes/No sound clip. In the end we resorted to whispering to each other where possible so we could figure it out for ourselves. The room layout was absolutely fantastic with great verticality and a multitude of rooms and areas. The puzzles were clever and themed into the nautical environment and the Titanic story. However, many things obviously didn’t work how they were intended to and this left a disappointing taste. There were lots of “oh what WOULD have been cool” moments. I might be completely wrong but Houdini’s rooms seem to have the feeling that they are made then abandoned to the staff to just ‘make-do’. Despite this, I did still enjoy myself, but I just wish I played it when it first opened and everything worked.
Set design was fantastic, with each room looking drastically different based on area of the ship.
It’s the Titanic so not original but did follow the events nicely.

The set was amazing but the puzzles and the host let the room down massively.
Puzzles didn’t really make much sense
Set was the best thing about the room
Didn’t know the puzzles if we were stuck and came into the room several times which always ruins the experience
