I am so glad that we managed to play Atlantis before the Escapement Broadstairs closes, which is a crying shame, by the way. This game and company are fantastic. You will be completely immersed, pun intended, in this submarine experience and have the best time. A great range of mental, physical and hands-on puzzles. If you’re able to play before the end of September, do it. Tell your friends to play as well. Tell everyone.
The briefing sets the scene immediately and you are launched into the mission. Everything made sense and flowed, with well integrated puzzles.
The initial set is fantastic, incredibly believable. And it continues as the game progresses, it is a beautifully, lovingly constructed set and game, accented with perfect lights, sounds, effects.
We could not have been treated any better. Vince was enthusiastic, personable, quirky, he looked after us very well and we had a good natter at the end.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
The submarine mechanic is great!
The story flows well, the mission is very clear and you really do feel like the protagonists in the adventure.
There are a good variety of puzzles, suitable for all ages and abilities so everyone can join in.
Both really, this game has it all!
The spaces will get a little cosy with large groups..
Very immersive but not scary or jumpy.
No, everything was in great condition and functioned as intended. No issues at all.
No, but the GM was in character throughout - the enthusiasm and energy levels of the staff are fantastic.
Physically active
Somewhat
We all felt like we’d had a decent workout by the end!
Accessibility
The game is accessed via a flight of stairs and relied on being steady on one’s feet and being able to crawl. At least two members of the group need to be able to climb!
The site is in the centre of a car park - ideal!
