9 - 1 - 1

We went as a group of 7 and that's a good number. The puzzles are by no means difficult, all puzzles are on the easy-medium straightforward side, but there are a lot!! It was overwhelming at first when you just grasp the idea, but very accomplishing when you make progress and seeing that you have people to count on. I usually don't like missing out on the puzzles and tons of number locks, but KW Escape always make an exception case. KW Escape rooms are perfect for workplace team bonding, over the linear mechanical rooms.

Loved the room from start to finish. It is a massive space and LOTS to do. But they were still able to make it not feel overwhelming with some organization to the setup. The room is very non-linear, having access to most puzzles right off the bat. 3 of us barely escaped. One of the few rooms I’d say is really set up well for larger groups, even if they are new to escape rooms, as both the space and puzzle design allowed there to be no choke points. And of course loved the firetruck =)

The use of a real fire truck was super cool and the room was well designed. We never really got stuck in a way that felt like it was as a result of bad design. Very fun and fair. One complaint is we were a team of 2 and this would be almost impossible to complete in an hour as a team of two. Thankfully there was no one right after us so they gave us some extra time and we were able to finish. There is just a lot of puzzles and a lot of combination locks. In total probably something like 30 locks and corresponding puzzles. It was just too much volume and with 2 people we barely interacted at all since there isn't a linear nature to the puzzles - you can more or less do any of them at any time. So it was divided and conquer and my friend was basically in another room the entire time. A minor complaint though since we still had a great time. I'd highly recommend but I'd probably recommend at least 3 people, maybe 4 if you want to be solving puzzles together. With 2 it's basically solving puzzles while adjacently. Only other commentary is it isn't that immersive because the walls don't go to the ceilings and there are 11 other rooms so you can hear stuff happening in other rooms. Not a big deal to me because the wow factor made up for it, but would have been far better with something above our heads to block out sound and make it feel more like we were on our own.

So, I think my review will likely be an outlier, which I’m feeling bad about, but I felt very scattered in this room only having done it with 1 other person. I was confused with what I was supposed to be doing through a lot of it because there was SO much to engage with which kind of took me out of the story. It was combo lock after combo lock after completing another small puzzle, and I usually don’t mind that but things just didn’t feel like they flowed to me. It’s just not my preference I guess. Also, my friend and I hardly spoke through the whole thing because we had to separate and work on each half of the story on our own. Part of me wishes Morty had a neutral rating option because I don’t think it truly deserves a thumbs down, but I definitely didn’t walk out feeling like I’d enjoyed that room the way I’d hoped I would. But, to each their own! Other people seem to like it! 🤷‍♀️

Another great room here! We did it with just us two, but you definitely should have more people for this one. There are a lot of tasks. We really like this place. We aren’t usually a fan of non-linear rooms, but we had fun with this one.

OMG so much fun. as a two player team, we were literally running from puzzle to puzzle. Absolutely amazing build-out using a real fire truck as its centre-piece. TONS of puzzles and activities that are all perfectly clued and absolutely fair. I have never had this much fun in an escape room as I did in this one.

This room is the perfect blend of challenging and fun. The puzzles are varied and the quantity is impressive. Centred around a REAL FIRE ENGINE in the middle of your experience, you’re tasked to rescue the animals from the pet store and stop the fire spreading to local shops. Usually the set design and cinematic elements to a game dominate my opinion. With this in mind, I do feel that the game could benefit from a level of ‘danger’ being added (smoke etc). That being said, we had undeniable fun in this experience, and we’re given an extra 10mins to be able to complete it. We played as a two, which I would say is ambitious. I would recommend 4 players for a game like this and be prepared to work none stop. Overall excellent game play, and incredibly fun. This is one enthusiasts will be able to sink their teeth into!
