We really enjoyed this room! I've done a bunch, but it was only the second room my friend has played (first was earlier in the evening at another site). This was FAR superior, and a really enjoyable experience. A few new elements I haven't seen before, which is always fun. One thing I'll note -- There is a challenge that requires trial and error once you figure part of it out. That was a bit different for me, since usually there's a way to "logic" your way to an answer before just guessing. This isn't a criticism, just something that slowed us down, since we assumed we were still missing things we needed to find.
Gamemaster was nice and gave appropriate hints as we needed/asked for them. They tend to allow more time to "work" when there isn't another group behind you (vs. pushing you along to beat 60 minutes). We ended up in the room longer than an hour, but we would have likely been faster with slightly earlier/quicker hints.
Overall, the room was in great condition and we'd highly recommend it if you're in the Manchester area.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Some creepy elements, but no jump scares or anything. Not quite "spooky" to me.
