The Other Side

Overall it was good but could be better. The audio was way too quiet, and it unfortunately took a lot away from the immersion and particularly a puzzle that required the audio queue. Things were heavily worn but worked. At one point I think our GM might have been asleep. Ask for hints 5 minutes before required. Puzzle flow was a bit janky, would suit a group larger than just us as a 2-player.

As massive stranger things fans, we decided to this room, as we heard it was loosely based on the show, and it certainly didn’t let us down. We had a lot of fun playing this room, and the setting was extremely immersive. What definitely made us love this room so much was our gamemaster, who was able to communicate with us through a piece of the room (something I’ve never seen at any other escape room location), and as well as giving us a helping hand throughout the room, he was also joking around with us, and playing along with what we were saying and referencing, and I don’t think we stopped laughing once. For our second fox in a Box room, it was such an amazing experience!!!

The concept of this room is incredible, and whilst it’s a lot of fun to play, the flow and functionality just felt a bit off. Important things were faded, and an issue with a mechanism left me trapped in a space even though I was doing what I needed to do to proceed

Cool concept but the set pieces brought the enjoyment down. Faded items needed for puzzles, puzzles not working, set pieces falling apart. Enjoyed the mood set though

Pretty fun experience, although starting off slow, as somethings weren't clear we had completed or accessed. The teamwork was enjoyable, the clues were clever.
