This puzzle game was quite challenging! We enjoyed the format of the game and the sights along the way. Our Consultant Sabi was quite helpful!

It was kind of fun but very frustrating as we had a hard time figuring things out and had to constantly contact our point person. We were told it would take 2-3 hours. We thought we had plenty of time before our next activity. 5 hours later we had to give up where we were and missed our next activity. Definitely made me feel stupid and incompetent and I have a bachelors degree.

I'm sorry you felt this way Ryan. We named it a challenge for a reason and although we are aware that its not everyone's cup of tea to be challenged we find that many people find it fun. Around a third of our customers finish without help. So we are aware it's hard for most. We follow the escape room tradition. We ourselves used to not escape escape rooms until we did a few. Its all about practice.

Unfortunately it was too cold and wet to finish for us but was very enjoyable.
Will do this again with more people next time.

Thank you very much for your review. We often wish we could control the weather in Scotland. I often wish I could provide all treasure hunters with a sunny day :) so glad to know you enjoyed some of it.

Really good fun just challenging enough for our adult family of 6. A great way to see really lovely interesting parts of Edinburgh.
