The Old Haunt

Technology malfunctioned and could not progress, no refund offered and game masters did not help.

More puzzles malfunctioned than those that worked, physical clues for puzzles were reset incorrectly and put in the wrong place and the GM-less experience only exacerbated the disappointment. While some puzzles flowed slightly, others were vague or too specific without enough direction/clue. It was hard to tell how the room would go normally, given the state of its function. Just like the ‘Aliens’ room, both experiences have such cool concepts in part, but fall down due to their execution. We were offered 2-for-1 for bowling and Holey Moley to compensate for the room’s malfunction.

Loved that the room gave hints as necessary rather than having a game master. Felt the room gave plenty of time to figure out puzzles and kept the flow of the game going. I'm a bit of a scaredy cat and found this game quite creepy. Loved the game but personally wouldn't do it again due to the creepiness.

Some really cool puzzles but it was incredibly distracting and frustrating as it guided you through the room and if you didn’t move on fast enough it moved you on.

I liked this room out of the 2 but wouldn’t recommend for a first timer. They had a few fun puzzles in here but you aren’t being watched by a game master incase something goes wrong or if you need a nudge.

The room was well decorated but the overall storyline was all over the place and isn’t really a typical escape room. It’s great strike offers them, but they don’t follow the same ethos as an escape room business - ie, they don’t monitor you, give you clues or congratulate you at the end. You go in and an hour later you look at a screen and see how you have done and then leave

Enjoyed this room, very high tech, however the last part of the tech malfunctioned and despite us being correct meant we didn’t ‘escape’ the room but all puzzles were complete

This was one of my favourite rooms that I have done. No help though. Your on your own… escape or be trapped forever!
