The Unplayed Melody

Excellent and well thought out room, great theatrics, big enough space for all 6 players. Really impressed with this room!

This room was amazing. The story is very immersive and touching. The puzzles are very creative and the theme and scenery really create a great experience. One of the best rooms we've done so far!

This was a great escape room with a well played out story line! It was refreshing to do a room that wasn’t mostly padlocks, codes etc. I was in a group with people who were new to escape rooms and they were able to figure out the puzzles etc, so would say this is an easy/medium room. Will definitely be back to do other rooms at Mission!

The theming and theatrics of the room really made the experience. I love the commencement of the room - it involves you from the get go. I played with an 11 & 12 year old and whilst some moments feel dark and spooky, it’s nothing that cant be handled.

Overall this was a good room. Very creative, cinematic elements and lots of puzzles. However, when we played there were technical issues with the puzzles, very finicky and unforgiving - in fact one of the puzzles didn’t work even after we solved it causing us to waste about 15 mins worth of time. I would have given this 100% had it not been for those issues, which, to be honest, is cardinal sin number 1 for an escape room based on mechanical puzzles.

This room is an absolute marvel, offering a solid and engaging narrative that captivates from start to finish. The storyline is intricately woven, keeping you on the edge of your seat and eager to uncover every twist and turn. The puzzles are nothing short of excellent, providing a satisfying challenge that is both stimulating and immensely enjoyable. Each puzzle is thoughtfully designed, ensuring a seamless flow throughout the experience. The high-tech and mechanical elements are particularly impressive, adding a layer of excitement and innovation that elevates the room to new heights. Additionally, the room features a few thrilling jump scares that add an exhilarating touch, making the adventure even more memorable. Overall, this room is a must-visit for beginners or seasoned escapees!

Fun room, very theatrical, definitely geared to those looking for a story driven experience. Occasional moments of downtime whereby story was shown, which probably amounts to 5-10 mins of non-gameplay. Fun nonetheless, not particularly difficult for us. Little bit spooky at times. Minimal padlocks, definitely tech focused.

Highly recommend this room. It is so thoughtfully designed. The story is great, the rooms/clues are great, and there’s a huge variety in the types of puzzles you need to work out. This is one of our favourite ever rooms.

Really felt like a kid in a playground on this one ! A beautifully designed environment with a magical atmosphere. You really feel like you’re in a movie. The music and the sound design seem natural in this setting and together with the lighting and special effects creates a truly immersive experience. There is so much to look at and the puzzles are fun to participate in. The story is well thought out and matches well with the choice of puzzles. You really do go on a journey room by room deeper into the heart of this emotional story. High production values and scene changes make this special experience and the in-world on boarding helps to get you fully immersed from the beginning . You really get to embrace your inner child with this experience!
