The Castle

Hands down our favorite room at Countdown! High tech , great variety of puzzles , and I felt like a true wizard ! My kids even enjoyed this one (ages 9 and 11)

If you are looking into this room it’s definitely for the set, and I can promise you, on that front, it does not disappoint. It is a true three story castle set built into the center of this location. That is unfortunately the highlight, this room employs a lot of search puzzles that I don’t really enjoy. It also employs multiple riddles which can be a tad bit repetitive. We played with a team of two which I do think made the scavenging more difficult, but otherwise we were able to finish every task set in this game. (Pro-tip this location let us play this game with two because we played after another game and were treated as walk-ins.) Overall, it is a highly impressive set filled with middling puzzles. Worth the play if you are here, but they have better rooms to offer.

Lots of searching puzzles which were fun but not as satisfying. We loved the impressive atmosphere most of all!

Came in expecting the room to be just a nicely decorated room simulating the inside of a castle. But NOPE! There is an entire 3-story castle inside this company’s facility! The whole structure was impressive. And a moment at the top was an excellently timed Easter egg for a rainy escape knight out! The puzzles aren’t too hard, though there is a lot of scavenging, some of which was way too hard to find without assistance from our helpful GM. Even though the rooms aren’t super big, it’s a magical accomplishment to have such a large castle within!

The castle that was built for this room is the star. The puzzles in the room are ok, a couple of them are a bit too long. This room is worth doing just to walk around the castle.

Loved the set for this! It was truly remarkable how physical it was and how it has 3 stories. The theme was very immersive. Some cool physical puzzles and interactive screen puzzles. It definitely felt more like a scavenger hunt at times, so I could see it being more enjoyable for kids. A couple logic puzzles were pretty challenging but fun! We were cutting it close on this one for sure, but overall enjoyed it.

This game is three stories high. Each level is small, but it is neat to have a tall set like a castle. Some of the puzzles are high tech and that takes away from the medieval immersion. There is also a good amount of searching for items. However, many of the puzzles are fun, even though they are mostly on the easier side. The storyline moves along as you go. We enjoyed the game and experience.

This game was my first experience at Countdown Games and it set a really high standard! This room is super immersive, unique, and impressive.

Very cool set with cool technology included. Must try room at Countdown.

Good story and puzzles, but the best part of the game was the room itself. This game is set in a replica of a castle made with real stone with multiple floors and many rooms!
