It has an atmospheric location in an abandoned tube station. We appreciated our attentive and helpful gamemaster. Unfortunately, the game itself is very linear with only one or two puzzles to work on each time, and the early puzzles in the game just aren’t that much fun. One in particular vastly outstayed its welcome. The puzzles get better as they go, building to a fun final puzzle and a fun final actor interaction but it wasn’t enough to build back my enthusiasm.

When you book, you’re asked your experience level. We chose “Enthusiast” which was probably a mistake. The effect seemed to be that one particular puzzle was stretched out with a frustrating number of additional steps; it made the game harder in a not-very-fun way. I would probably not advise ticking “enthusiast” when asked.

Small spaces, linear gameplay, and not a lot of puzzles. Our team of five was definitely too big.

Might have been scarier but the GM kindly toned down the scares at my request.
