点评:As mentioned in my other Nottingham review I was in the City for a sporting event and don’t get to travel up North that often so great to be back at Cryptology after a long hiatus. The previous time it had been for an escape room conference held in Nottingham so with other escape room owners and I don’t think my daughter attended that time. This time with my two kids 15 year old son and 23 year old daughter (at the time).
We did two rooms and I’ll review them both below. They were Witchful Thinking which was brand new at the time and Daylight Robbery. As mentioned both different styles of games. Witchful thinking a family friendly game about witches and wizards and magical creatures. When I say family don’t think that means it’s a walk in the park as far from that and we fairly experienced escape roomers got bamboozled and flummoxed a few times. Is interactive with a novel hint system and the host gets into character to show you in and talking to magical creatures and suchlike. As such I’d say more of a collaborative game
The other game was all about getting in and grabbing as much as you can in the time limit so that means for optimal splitting off and tackling a mix of physical and mental problems (if familiar with crystal maze then you have some idea). My son is less experienced with escape rooms and sometimes needs a little more prompting. My daughter is super brains. I spent perhaps a little too long on a tricky physical puzzle and almost didn’t do it but just about.
Out of both games the latter was my favourite but both well worth checking out if in Nottingham and our host - the owner Mark was great and I’m sure sweltering in a wizard outfit on a hot sunny day - dedication I tell ya!
翻译:正如我在另一篇诺丁汉的评论中提到的,我来诺丁汉参加一场体育赛事,很少有机会去北方,所以在长时间的休息之后重返Cryptology真是太棒了。上次是去参加在诺丁汉举办的密室逃脱会议,和其他密室逃脱老板一起,但我女儿好像没去。这次带着我的两个孩子——当时15岁的儿子和23岁的女儿——一起去的。
我们玩了两个密室,我会在下面对它们进行评论。分别是当时很新奇的“Witchful Thinking”和“Daylight Robbery”。正如之前提到的,这两个游戏风格迥异。“Witchful Thinking”是一款适合家庭游玩的游戏,讲述了巫师、女巫和魔法生物的故事。我说的“家庭”并不意味着它很容易上手,因为远非如此,我们这些经验丰富的密室逃脱玩家也曾被迷惑和弄糊涂过几次。这款游戏采用新颖的提示系统,互动性很强,主持人会化身角色带你进入密室,并与魔法生物等对话。因此,我认为它更像是一款合作游戏。
另一款游戏的重点是要在限定时间内尽可能多地进入游戏并抓取物品,这意味着要以最佳状态分头行动,并解决一系列体力和脑力问题(如果你熟悉水晶迷宫,你就会明白)。我儿子玩密室逃脱的经验较少,有时需要更多提示。我女儿的脑子非常灵光。我可能在一个棘手的体力谜题上花了太长时间,差点就没做成,但最终还是成功了。
这两款游戏中,我最喜欢的是后者,但如果你在诺丁汉,这两款游戏都值得一试。我们的主人——老板马克很棒,我敢肯定,在炎热的阳光下穿着巫师服肯定汗流浃背——真是敬业!
