Another mixed bag from Houdini’s but still overall enjoyable. The host knew their stuff, full of interesting facts about the Titanic, very cheery and clearly enjoys their job. Although, perhaps a little to trigger-happy with the Yes/No hint system and the telephone hints. For example I’d ask my partner a question and the host would reply with the Yes/No sound clip. In the end we resorted to whispering to each other where possible so we could figure it out for ourselves. The room layout was absolutely fantastic with great verticality and a multitude of rooms and areas. The puzzles were clever and themed into the nautical environment and the Titanic story. However, many things obviously didn’t work how they were intended to and this left a disappointing taste. There were lots of “oh what WOULD have been cool” moments. I might be completely wrong but Houdini’s rooms seem to have the feeling that they are made then abandoned to the staff to just ‘make-do’. Despite this, I did still enjoy myself, but I just wish I played it when it first opened and everything worked.

Set design was fantastic, with each room looking drastically different based on area of the ship.

It’s the Titanic so not original but did follow the events nicely.
