Enjoyed the game, very different to a usual escape room with locks or puzzles. This room does use technology quite a bit. Lots of magnetic locks. Nothing hugely difficult where you really have to think for yourself. The story like is fun, but I wouldn’t say any of the puzzles really jump out as clever.

Only one actual lock. The rest is magnetic or timed. Wouldn’t say it’s particularly difficult

Would say it’s all fun, however not sure the puzzles matched the story line

If I had to sum this up in one word I’d go with: FUN The room was well decorated and had lots of Sheffield references packed into it, many of the puzzles required a good bit of teamwork and were really fun! Our hosts in character briefing was absolutely hilarious, they really went the extra mile with it! And hosting throughout was perfect, just getting a couple of little nudges when needed! Unfortunately I can’t help but feel like there wasn’t quite enough to do here, we finished with over 15 minutes to go as an experienced team of two. This doesn’t take away from what is an incredibly fun experience but compared to cryptology’s other games it felt a little bit emptier!
