A Folha Escondida [The Hidden Script]

‘The Hidden Script’ was the second room we played at Faro Escape Games during our short trip to the city. Whilst we felt our performance as a team was much better than during ‘The Cabin’, there were some frustrating areas that could be improved: - One of the puzzles hadn’t been reset properly, which impacted the game flow. I get that this happens occasionally so we were forgiving of it, but it did impact our experience. - An area that opens up later on in the game is very dark and the main light source is a wind-up torch that makes the experience less than enjoyable. We struggled to see locks and items we could interact with in that space. - The penultimate puzzle was a real letdown, as we’d got the right solution and placed items where they needed to be but a door didn’t open. We were instructed to just unplug something at the wall to bypass this and the door then opened. There is a very simple solution to make this puzzle work, which for some reason hasn’t been implemented. It wasn’t a great experience overall, and the combination of the above made it less enjoyable than it could have been. We did manage to escape however!

Amazing escape room. We loved it. Very well thought. Challenging but doable. And we did it with kids in the mix and was absolutely fine. The owner is very kind and helpful.

A really lovely room. A lot of fun! Highly recommended!

We went to the Faro Escape Game and loved it; it had some very original, creative, and themed puzzles. The Game Master, Paulo, was very friendly.

I really recommend this experience in Faro for those who like escape games with a touch of true historical facts.

Absolutely 1000/10! The game play was so cool and the room was outstanding. Paulo created a masterpiece that is so fun to play. He put so much love and time into his place and it shows! Great puzzles and great atmosphere.

What a fun room! The gamemaster Paolo was passionate and helpful throughout. My only complaint is that there was one small piece of technical equipment that didn’t quite work the way it was supposed to… Paolo had to get on the walkie talkie and talk us through how to fix it. Once that was fixed, the rest of the game was great! Great way to learn about the history of the area, while testing your puzzling skills.
