14 escape rooms
This is on the fence a bit this one. It’s obviously a very hard room as advertised, however some puzzles contain misleading or opaque elements. Our host couldn’t explain one particular puzzle after we exited the room which we had brute-forced a bit. Most of the puzzles are great however, so some tweaks could make for a really good room. The time limit of 60 minutes is perhaps a bit tight for the room. We needed a few hints because of the time pressure rather than being stumped. It’s very much a room to play if you enjoy hard puzzles, but I wouldn’t recommend if you enjoy escape rooms that are atmospheric and narrative heavy. Escape Hunt being a franchise has a slight feeling of being mass produced, and the host usually needs to juggle several rooms at a time.

Yes
There’s one puzzle where it’s very easy to misread one number as another. Normally not a big deal but has a huge impact in a very difficult room.
