Islington, London.
After playing a mysterious board game that you found in your attic you’re somehow transported into a jungle world! The only way to escape is by completing the game in 60 minutes or less! Will you be able to finish it before whatever is lurking in the wild finds you?
Played – March 2018
The theme of this room was great! You are greeted with an impressive centrepiece which instantly becomes the focal point of the game. There was a good variety of puzzles, some of which utilised technology in a way we had not experienced in previous rooms. Technology in terms of the actual puzzles worked well, however the clue system we did not completely enjoy. You have no contact with the host and have to rely on getting clues by tapping the wall with an ipad. This sounds relatively simple but it did not always give you the clue you needed and took a while to register the request. That aside we did enjoy the room and would consider completing more rooms at City Mazes. Teams of 2-5 would be good numbers in this room.
