No Humbugs Allowed! Welcome to the 18th Century, London, England. Night has fallen over London on Christmas Eve, Ebenezar has just arrived home after making sure his assistant, Bob Cratchit, puts in his extra hours to make up for taking off Christmas Day. Scrooge lays back in bed, thinking happily on all the years money he’s scrimped and saved in the strongbox at the office. He drifts off to sleep, and wakes up in that very same office, but how did he get here, and is this just a dream? It all seems so real…

This was a fun holiday escape room, though it could be played any time of year. Gameplay felt linear, though multiple puzzles/clues in each room could be figured out at once. We did have a problem with a broken puzzle at the very end of the game, but the GM saw this and immediately came in to remedy the problem (playing it up in character - and appropriately stopping the countdown clock til resolved) so we could move forward with the escape.
Flowed well, needed minimal clues, if any. Linear gameplay.
Vibe and set design was immersive, host was entertaining.
We've always felt welcomed at both Conundrum Escape room locations. Host was great.

One puzzle in second room was not working even though we properly handled it. GM saw this, came in (in character to the theme) resolved the problem and swiftly left us to continue.
No
Not really, but the GM's at Conundrum usually get into the act of a host tied into the theme when introducing the game and the rules before starting.

This room was amazing, especially for a holiday themed room, which are usually pretty cheaply made, best holiday escape room I’ve ever done. Thanks to our ghost host J for the room

The clues were not clear. We've done great in the past but this one was confusing.

The room was quite challenging but in a fun way. When I felt lost, it was because we had missed something. There's some really interesting puzzles that I haven't seen before that totally fit the Christmas spirit. I'd highly recommend going in with minimum of 3-4 people because there is a lot to do.

I'll admit I'm sort of a Grinch when it comes to holiday themed rooms. Many of times, the theme is the same. Help Santa save Christmas! This room was not at all shoving Christmas themed puzzles down your throat and I loved how the rooms felt so cozy and nice to be in. Very interactive puzzles and one that was AMAZING when it came to the box with chains. Let's just say you'll need those chains to lead the way to a word. We had 6 people and that felt just right. A easier room for veterans and great introduction room or beginners.

Great room. Many non-traditional puzzles but that’s to be expected with Conundrum. Even though it’s a Christmas-themed room, it doesn’t go over the top and take away from the room.

So refreshing to play a Christmas-themed room that had nothing to do with finding a missing/hidden Nice List. Scrooge instead of Santa. And frankly, the overall story gimmick was really neat and my whole group loved the experience. Good blend of opening padlocks and other types of puzzles. Would 100% recommend!
Really unique puzzles and clear pathing and signposting.
Clearly significant effort went into this room. We really loved the aesthetics and design
Avery was clear about being fairly new but that didn’t detract at all - he was a great host for us

A few puzzles would probably go over children’s heads but this was described as one of the harder rooms so I’d expect that.

Amazing set design, and I love that the game masters always get into character at this location. TONS of puzzles in this room, all of which are non linear which can be difficult. One of my few losses as there simply so many puzzles for two people, but still thoroughly enjoyed this room.
