I thought they walked the line well – putting “scary” stuff in several times, without ever giving me the feeling I might get watching a horror movie. I have to admit though, that they did manage to get me to jump at one point with an impressively created puzzle. While the game sounds like it’s going to have a scary theme, in practice it’s not very scary at all. We expected an hour (or at least close to it) of entertainment, and standing around watching someone else doing something, or waiting for something to happen is just cheating us out of that fun. Indeed, there were a couple of times, because of the way the game worked, where NONE of us could do anything useful. Why’s that bad? Well, with five people in the room, that typically means only one of you is actually doing something useful.
You had to do each step in order without any deviation, unable to work on the next stage. Let’s start with our team’s number one complaint – this puzzle was entirely linear. There were moments where I felt real frustration, and moments where I was seriously impressed. Inside it was a bit of a curate’s egg: good in parts and bad in parts. Next thing you know, you wake up in the dark in some sort of cage… Inside the room You’re at the cinema when the screen starts to go blurry, you feel funny and then pass out. The first video just repeated what we’d already been told by our host, and the second video left us entirely perplexed until we had it explained to us. They’re a really nice idea, but they really didn’t add to the experience. The real let down though, and I think they need to do something about this as soon as possible, was the intro video (and later the “destiny” one). They need to get this right though, because a good intro can make a massive difference – just look at Lady Chastity’s Reserve. Having said that, it was only their fourth day of public access, so they’ve not had much chance to get it down pat and from what I saw on their Twitter account, things have been kind of busy getting everything in place, so perhaps they’ve not had the time to concentrate on the non-core parts of the room. Hon, one of the two founders, gave the intro, and to be honest it was a little disappointing – there’s definitely some work to be done in brushing up the delivery. They even threw in some popcorn to get us in the mood. So far, so good – it was a nicely crafted room paying homage to an old fashioned cinema. A ring on the bell and we were soon in the briefing room.
#Enigma escape room full
They’ve probably got one of the best “shop” fronts I’ve seen for an escape room, with a full window image of their logo, which as a bonus makes it easy to spot that you’re in the right place. The perils of being a preview audience! The day was here though, and I set out with four trusted team mates. To further heighten my anticipation, they’d had last minute difficulties that had resulted in our date being moved back by a week.
In fact, I’d first come across their website many months before that, so to say I’d been eagerly awaiting their room is an understatement.
