Professor Enright’s Enigma

Played 11th February 2018

Theme

“Professor Enright, the world – famous explorer and historian, has travelled the world in search of the Enigma Diamond. After many years of searching, he found it deep within the jungles of South America. Tonight the Professor is hosting a party to celebrate his achievement. You and your team have got into the Professor’s mansion disguised as kitchen staff. Whilst the party is in full swing, you break into the study, determined to steal his prized possession. You have one hour.”

Host

Our hosts for this game were so welcoming with 3 geniuses behind the room who we had the pleasure of meeting. We had a chat about previous rooms and also about this room they made. After our necessary dos and dont’s briefing our clock had started but it started in reception… what could the twist be ??

Room Setup

When we finally got to the actual game room we were very excited by the decor, it had been set up with such care and attention, it had a professional finish. The room had a great atmosphere and props were in key with the theme… except for the birthday bags and paper Laura found behind a draw which wasn’t meant to be there LOL. The maximum team size is 6 and we fell this is the perfect size for this room and you wouldn’t have any issues for space.

Game Play

The game had a mixture of every type of puzzle you could think of !! The game was great, really got our heads thinking like we’ve never done before, we both left in a daze of bamboozlement. There is a mix of coded, directional and other sneaky openings but no spoilers here 😉

Clue System

Clues were given on a tv screen.

Overall Experience ★★★★☆

We really loved this game but so gutted we couldn’t escape, we worked out there is roughly 1 puzzle every 2 minutes which was a lot for a short space of time, i understand the creators will be taking a few bits out and we really want to try this room again to see the difference. I would recommend this game to an older audience as the theme may not appeal to younger people with some of the puzzles involved. The hosts are currently developing a new game and we can’t wait to see what has been done.
