As an experienced quartet we did all 3 games here over the course of the weekend (Detention, A Brief Case and the Chain Lock Challenge). The games were well themed with some interesting puzzles, some of which we hadn’t seen before. All well executed and fairly low tech (which suited us), and we escaped with plenty of time to spare. Silas is the owner and designer and he’s lovely, a great GM. Recommended!

Thank you Terraverte88...! I thoroughly enjoyed (and benefitted hugely) from hosting Team 32:52. It is a privilege to observe / witness teams who are so adept at puzzle solving, collaborating and figuring 'stuff' out on their own (as a team I mean) and do so in rapid time. I am back looking at the proverbial drawing board to start plotting how I can next try to stump you! Thanks again and keep in touch Silas

We chose to do this room second after completing The Briefcase earlier in the day. It was another fantastic room with some clever and unique puzzles I've never seen before. The theming was great and it all flowed really well. Slightly easier than The Briefcase room, but nonetheless a really enjoyable one. A big shout out to the host Silas, who you can tell really cares about his rooms and he's always looking for feedback and ways to improve. The rooms here are the best I've done in the North East of England by quite some distance, and we're looking forward to what he's got coming up next!
