198 escape rooms
This was a step down in terms of difficulty compared to our first room (There's Something Outside), but still very enjoyable. It’s a family-friendly, linear room set in a chocolate factory. To be clear, this is more of a traditional factory setting – not a fantastical Willy Wonka set-up, although it does feature some edible treats. Just to set expectations! The room consists of one large space, with another small area that’s accessible later in the game. As with our previous room, the flow was great, and we rarely found ourselves questioning what we had to do next. We moved swiftly between most of the puzzles, some of which involved jigsaw pieces, chess, connecting pipes and observation tasks. One of our favourite puzzles actually required that we eat some chocolate, which we definitely did not complain about! I imagine this would be a lot of fun to play with children, especially with one of the puzzles towards the end. It is a linear room, so you have a clearly defined path to follow, and the simple story is easy to follow. We escaped in 33:56, but this could have been under 30 minutes had we not wasted so much time looking for one item that was right in front of our faces!
