Last reviews of escape rooms by "Red Herring Escape Rooms"

This escape room had promise. An enticing backstory, great decor and props, and an interesting opening puzzle. Sadly it degenerated into an endless series of laminated "puzzles" leading to yet another 4-digit padlock code. The speaker in the room wasn't really working, so we couldn't hear any hints clearly. The puzzles themselves were, in my opinion, not particularly creative or clever, and frankly I'm glad we only got half way as the description of the remaining puzzles sounded incredibly dull.

I've tried many escape rooms around the world, and this one was literally the worst I have ever encountered.
