Le Cirque Radioactif

It was good but not wow

Several things weren't working properly. The young woman at the front desk knew this, and even though there were no other reservations, she let us choose that room.

Personally, I’m a huge fan of the circus theme to begin with. I wasn’t disappointed! The theme was 100% there—you could feel it in every corner you looked! It was a nice surprise since we were a bit hesitant to go, given our past experiences at this location. However, friends recommended we give it a try, which is why we decided to take a chance and go back! Pros: - Great immersion - Fun puzzles (though many of them are familiar if you’re a regular player) - A room without padlocks, and the locks/mechanisms to unlock were very well thought out! Cons: - A LOT of unnecessary props in the decor (yes, it sets the mood, but having played many rooms, seeing so much unused potential was rather disappointing) - Quite a few familiar puzzles - Music that was a bit jarring at times (it felt like it would start playing at random moments... Either there’s a soundtrack, or there isn’t haha!) - Without giving anything away, we thought the theme was very poorly utilized..........

If you're not a fan of chain games, you're going to love this one. You'll find yourself immersed in a real circus atmosphere, and the puzzles are perfect for this kind of game. You can bring your kids along—unless they're afraid of clowns.

I did play this game a while ago and I remember really enjoying it! I really loved the theme and how they managed to make so much out of not much space. Like other reviewers said though, it is small, so I would not recommend it for more than 3 people. When doing it back then, 2 or 3 things did not work but it did not hinder our experience since it was basically items we would place somewhere that did not activate the next thing. We could just simply communicate with the GM and they would unlock it for us. I also remember making the loudest scream I have ever made in this room...I am pretty much a scaredy cat. If it can still be enjoyed the way I enjoyed it back a couple years ago, it is really a fun room!

This escape is really small, more than three people would be too much. It feels like the puzzles are old and not working for some of them. What I liked is that there wasn’t any locks. The ambience was definitely there, I also liked that there was a lot of puzzles that didn’t require to think but to act. The game is getting old and some stuff is falling off, I think the game was probably super great when it got out. The puzzles were mostly fun. The staff was super nice.

A great experience in this really fun game. The rooms are on the small side but well designed.
