One vital clue was missing and after looking for awhile the guy was like O are you having trouble, yeah I haven't has a chance to fix that clue yet. The lack of back story created a real disconnect as well.<br />Next time I look at doing an escape room I will read your reviews firstAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09330172004490599105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142337913722561872.post-63747622744629941332016-09-15T15:32:57.657-07:002016-09-15T15:32:57.657-07:00Hi

For what it's worth, I thought MU-T was maybe 3 or 4 times better than Silent Hospital. All of the puzzles were bespoke and fun and the high tech was cleverly hidden as part of the room design. I also judge a room by the fun factor - some of the puzzles in MU-T were heaps of fun and gave us a laugh, whereas Silent Hospital was a snore fest, at least for me.<br /><br />Thanks<br />ScottScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04649155942468017696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142337913722561872.post-4002436454152678442016-09-13T19:57:35.879-07:002016-09-13T19:57:35.879-07:00Just did the Silent Hospital and Annabelle rooms a...Just did the Silent Hospital and Annabelle rooms at Outlast using Groupon. Had no problem with the service or any broken puzzles. Annabelle was pretty decent but very short. Fun but easy with standard types of puzzles and one innovative twist - good for beginners. They say that it's their easy room. Silent Hospital was a bit of a disappointment - the first half had nothing to do with the theme and the puzzles were disappointing. The "blood bag" room you mentioned was the best part, and I actually enjoyed the innovative tech in it and found that it fit. Other than that room, I found the puzzles were unrelated, and some were on the lazy side of puzzle design. Was fun for the price (two rooms for $35pp), but would be upset at full price. However having also done MU-T, I'm not sure how you can recommend that over Outlast, as I didn't find it to be much better. Would suggest Vampire Castle or Dr. M at Mission.guesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15351012317895218201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142337913722561872.post-51411662407395500662016-09-08T17:10:40.319-07:002016-09-08T17:10:40.319-07:00Hi K

I recommend CT Adventures' MU-T room in the city if you're after a really fun high tech room.<br /><br />Thanks<br />ScottScotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04649155942468017696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142337913722561872.post-37137975997829153212016-09-08T16:52:54.210-07:002016-09-08T16:52:54.210-07:00I did this room last night with some friends - tha...I did this room last night with some friends - thanksfully with the groupon discount. It would NOT have been worth $40 a head.<br />Most frustratingly we had to call for assistance to open the safe - we had worked out the code but the instructions for how to enter the code had been vitally damaged.<br />And the customer service sucked. The time we booked on the online system wasn't actually available so we had to change that, then on the night, we got a message saying that our start time would be delayed by 30mins for "reasons" and then we still had to wait another 15 mins on arrival.Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11122012672282034466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3142337913722561872.post-22248124178259140172016-07-18T16:13:47.307-07:002016-07-18T16:13:47.307-07:00Hi Andi - thanks.

At $20 per head, it's probably an ok deal - it's definitely not the worst escape room we have tried, but it's pretty average.

Also sorry for commenting on like 2 other posts of yours, but I'm keen on looking for a good escape room that currently has a discount voucher haha, so I have been browsing the Internet a fair bit.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09665474040670105084noreply@blogger.com
