Two very different games. Swamp of Sorrows was an impressive experience that transported us to a new world with varied puzzles and an interesting finale. Ring of Protection didn’t engage me with its repeated use of missions over puzzles and a generally less impressive set.
A belated round-up of the Andalucian escape rooms we played on our last visit to the south of Spain. Highlights were a Mad Max game in Almeria and D20 in Malaga.
A review of the (Spanish-only) escape room in Almeria. Fantastic experience with a great, gritty set, some cool on-theme puzzles and a clever ending.
A pair of enjoyable games. Pick The Game if you want something light-hearted with a cool sense of adventure or Hypnos if you want the more impressive puzzles.
A sweet, Christmas-themed escape room that delivers reasonable, straightforward puzzles in a pretty setting. It’s a great escape option for celebrating Christmas!
Few games have filled me with such unbridled joy as Christmas Dream. The structure of puzzles gives you confidence in searching the room, the bonus elements are a fun addition, and the room is absolutely gorgeous throughout. This may be a pop-up experience lasting just a few weeks, but it felt like a permanent game, and it’s a travesty that they built it for such a short period.
A beautiful, extended sci-fi game that manages to deliver a complete experience from start to finish despite a relatively small floor area. With regular bouts of adrenaline to keep you on your toes and a puzzle experience that was generally good, it’s a game that I’d highly recommend.
A round-up of the 2019 games that I’d like to celebrate.
An easier conventional crossword to provide some challenge on Boxing Day!
One of the best games I’ve experienced. Over three hours of gorgeous set, interesting puzzles and an overarching narrative that flows through from their opening game. Go to Athens and play this game.
