Overthrone

Good escape room Not linear Some great puzzles

As with others from this franchise / site, unnecessarily obscure puzzles and clues. Set was tired when we played it.

If you like Game of Throne/Fantasy books style themes, then this room is for you! I don’t, but it was still thoroughly enjoyable with plenty of things to keep 2 people entertained & we managed to set the then record for a pair. With tricky & unusual auditory puzzles as well as other physical tasks, one physical prop didn’t work so the GM had to come in, and we had to stop part way through when the fire alarm went off (not the auditory puzzle I’m referring to!) though staff were brilliant & restarted the game with minimal fuss & bother not long later. The venue is within a college campus which means the rooms are separate from the reception desk & the GM has a little way to travel between, which isn’t ideal but they make the best of it & staff there are always lovely. We’d done another Overthrone type room elsewhere but this only seemed to share an overall theme & 1 puzzle with the other room, so was still worth doing.
