Game Of Crowns

Not great flow, not narrative driven- several puzzles could be shortcut - some items were broken, and some tech did not work properly. There was one puzzle where the form of it was good, but the execution was incomplete (if I was being critical, I’d call it “lazy”). Also the final code (for the exit door) was an identical puzzle to the other room we did here (temple of doom). Staff was great!

So many fun puzzles!! The only reason I’m giving this a thumbs up instead of a heart is that some of the technical components were not working 100% and there was a whiteboard which kinda took me out of the atmosphere. Otherwise, these puzzles were really fun and had multiple layers to them.

This was a nicely done room. The puzzles were well themed. Good mix of tech and manual. Interesting matching puzzles and also keys for solving word problems. Great map usage and love the journal though I fee it is the one area that could have had a bit more detail applied to it. Our GM Alex was wonderful and apparently very surprised we finished so quickly. 😏 Definitely enjoyed and will be going back to check out there other rooms and sister site!

7/10 Game of Crowns is a must for any Game of Thrones fan, with many references to the book/show it makes for a very fun theme. Unfortunately this room had some misses when it comes to puzzles for me personally, however. We accidentally brute forced two puzzles, and were left wondering why the answer was so on the nose and predictable. With how anal some companies can be about using their props, we were quite hesitant with a lot of objects in our room, that inevitably led us to needing to use a hint on something that should have been obvious if it didn't look so breakable. Overall this is a good room with a variety of puzzle types. The answers being just numbers for locks could really use some work from this company as it is rather typical of their solutions across Tarheel Escapes and Bull City Escapes, and really takes you out of whatever theme you are in.

This is a cool, unique theme. Some of the puzzles and clues were intuitive and very fun others felt like a stretch to figure out without a clue. If you have played The Enchanted Kingdom at Bull City Escapes, you’ll find the second half of these rooms are very similar.
