Inventor’s Odyssey Through Time

Like the other rooms at this location, Inventor's Odyssey got a bunch of bad reviews when it opened. To Enigma Quest's credit, they've clearly refined and improved the room since then. Everything flowed smoothly and was clearly signposted. All the puzzles felt fair. I wouldn't have minded one more segment. I would describe my team as "moderately experienced," and we finished it in about 38 minutes. I suspect a very experienced team could have blown through even faster. In short, this is not quite as good as the very best games in London. But in its current, polished form, this is a very good option, and well worth playing for the local enthusiast. Additionally, when I asked our GM if they planned to open new rooms any time soon, he said they were still focused on polishing and improving their three current rooms. I would currently rate the game as a solid B-tier. Further improvement and polishing could well bring it up to a B+.

This is probably the worst room I’ve ever played. The puzzles didn’t make any sense and I left the room feeling confused and unsatisfied. We managed to escape but it didn’t really feel like we have solved any puzzles. I don’t like putting bad reviews but I had to do it so everyone is aware. Note: This is a new room so maybe we are just unlucky to be their beta testers. It has potential though if done right.

Fun but not very challenging. It’s all set in this one room as you travel through time and it changes slightly which is really cool but a warning for anyone who gets motion sickness because the time travel machine spins and made us feel quite nauseous
