点评:We are a family of 5 escape room fans who have racked up quite a few different rooms in different venues and towns and Carfax is by far our favourite yet. From ringing the doorbell at the plain looking shop front door, you walk into another world - like stepping back in time! The reception is stunning with theming from the minute you walk in, the games masters were friendly and enthusiastic (which makes a huge difference to any escape room experience) and the instructions clear. The walk down into the caves is such a different experience and the decor and theming in the room was brilliant. Not to give any spoilers but it’s a really detailed room(s!) with the puzzles very well thought out, and the story flows really well. Unlike the majority of rooms we have done elsewhere it isn’t just a series of codes to open padlocks, which was a very pleasant change - the puzzles really get you thinking and you have to work as a team to come up with solutions. Not for the easily spooked as there were a couple of creepy moments, but in a really good way, and any fans of the story of Dracula will love it!!
There are lockers for your belongings, a fab set up for team photos afterwards, and it was lovely and warm in the caves despite the freezing cold weather outside.
Definitely not accessible - you need to be ok with steep steps and small enclosed spaces but if you are generally fit you won’t have any problems.
A big shout out to Neve our Games Master who was brilliantly enthusiastic and really set the scene, and continued the mood with her delivery of clues when needed.
All in all a brilliant experience and we will be back to do the other rooms soon.
翻译:我们一家五口都是密室逃脱的粉丝,在不同的场所和城镇玩过不少不同的密室逃脱,而 Carfax 是目前为止我们最喜欢的。从按响看似普通的商店门前的门铃开始,你就走进了另一个世界 - 就像回到了过去!从你走进来的那一刻起,接待处的主题就令人惊叹,游戏大师们友好而热情(这对任何密室逃脱体验都有很大的影响),指示也很清楚。走进洞穴是一种完全不同的体验,房间里的装饰和主题非常精彩。不想剧透,但这是一个非常详细的房间!谜题经过深思熟虑,故事情节流畅。与我们在其他地方做过的大多数房间不同,它不仅仅是一系列打开挂锁的代码,这是一个非常令人愉快的变化 - 谜题真的让你思考,你必须作为一个团队来想出解决方案。不太适合容易被吓到的人,因为有几个令人毛骨悚然的时刻,但真的很不错,任何喜欢德古拉故事的人都会喜欢它!!
这里有储物柜可以存放您的物品,之后还有很棒的团队照片拍摄场地,尽管外面天气寒冷,但洞穴里却很温暖可爱。
绝对不是无障碍的——您需要适应陡峭的台阶和狭小的封闭空间,但如果您身体健康,就不会有任何问题。
非常感谢我们的游戏大师 Neve,她非常热情,真正营造了场景,并在需要时通过提供线索来延续气氛。
总而言之,这是一次精彩的体验,我们很快就会回来参观其他房间。
