点评:Our group was by no means an expert one when it comes to escape rooms, with only 3 or 4 under our belt, so we opted for the "Into the Reliquary room as it promised more physical challenges and searching than difficult puzzles and we were not disappointed!
The theming of the corridors leading up to the rooms is good enough but the room itself was brilliant, and very much in the spirit of the "Aztec Zone of the Crystal Maze". The puzzles themselves were fairly challenging but not too much that they were off-putting and our main issues were not searching hard enough for clues. The range was good, with symbolic puzzles as well as semi-linguistic ones.
The disclaimer mentions bringing a change of clothes but only 1 (or in our case 2) people stand a chance of getting wet although we all went out with a bit of sand in our shoes! The extra spaces made the room feel more expansive and there's even a little surprise if you don't get the final puzzle right (the host gleefully showed this to us after we finished the game on the first try and we kind of wish we'd got it wrong, so if you've got enough time left on the clock, I'd suggest you play it dumb at first!).
This isn't one of the cheaper escape rooms but it's worth the extra pounds for the experience and the quality of theming. Parking is limited, so car sharing is useful. The venue is easy to find with a SatNav and it's close enough to both Crowborough and Tunbridge Wells to offer somewhere else to go, maybe for a well-earned bite to eat afterwards.
The host was friendly and enthusiastic and the overall experience was one that we can't wait to repeat, already eyeing up some of the more difficult rooms for next time. With a few hints needed, we managed to find the relic with under 2 minutes to spare, so we left with some dignity too. There are also a couple of small puzzles in the reception, to warm you up while you wait, and a selection of snacks to fuel your mind.
Top marks all round for the Darkmaster Escape Rooms!
翻译:我们的团队在密室逃脱方面绝不是专家,只玩过 3 或 4 个密室逃脱,所以我们选择了“进入圣物室”,因为它承诺更多的是体力挑战和搜索,而不是困难的谜题,我们并没有失望!
通往房间的走廊的主题已经足够好了,但房间本身也很棒,非常符合“水晶迷宫的阿兹特克区”的精神。谜题本身相当具有挑战性,但不会太过令人反感,我们的主要问题是没有足够努力地寻找线索。谜题的范围很好,有象征性的谜题和半语言性的谜题。
免责声明提到要带一套换洗的衣服,但只有 1 人(或在我们的情况下是 2 人)有可能被淋湿,尽管我们出去的时候鞋子里都有点沙子!额外的空间让房间感觉更宽敞,如果你没有正确解开最后的谜题,甚至会有一个小惊喜(在我们完成游戏后,主持人兴高采烈地向我们展示了这一点第一次尝试时,我们有点希望自己做错了,所以如果你还有足够的时间,我建议你先装傻!)。
这不是一个便宜的密室逃脱游戏,但为了体验和主题的质量,它值得你多花点钱。停车位有限,所以拼车很有用。使用卫星导航很容易找到场地,而且它离 Crowborough 和 Tunbridge Wells 都很近,可以提供其他去处,也许之后可以吃点东西。
主人很友好,很热情,我们迫不及待地想再次体验,已经开始关注下次一些更难的房间。在需要一些提示的情况下,我们设法在不到 2 分钟的时间内找到了遗物,所以我们也体面地离开了。接待处还有几个小谜题,让你在等待时暖和起来,还有各种小吃来补充你的大脑。
Darkmaster Escape Rooms 的各方面都获得了最高分!
