Very hard for a 2 player. Lots to do and some complex choice elements. Great design and attention to detail. Friendly owner / GM.

Some games just aren’t ‘our kind of game’ & this turned out to be one of them. The game constantly felt like a struggle & the primary & secondary crystal idea felt confusing & unnecessary. Whilst I can’t put my finger on what was so bad about it, it didn’t compare to their other rooms & there simply wasn’t much enjoyment factor there for us. The rooms at this branch don’t seem to be in the same league as the Nottingham branch, almost as though they’re totally different companies.

Atmosphere

It was cohesive, but felt somehow cheap compared to most other Cryptology rooms.
