Amaze Escape 360 - Crazy Doctor Review (Non-Live Experience, Online)

 


Hi all

Back in April 2021, I beta-tested a non-live "photosphere" room for a company from the Netherlands called Amaze Escape 360.  The room is named Crazy Doctor and the story is as follows:

A few days ago, your friend Anna has made an appointment to see Dr. Condor due to some COVID-19 symptoms, but you haven’t heard from her since. As you start to look into this, you find there are rumors that Dr. Condor is kidnapping and performing terrible experiments on his patients. You decide to head to Dr. Condor’s office and investigate. Can you find Anna or will you be his next victim?

Crazy Doctor was my 180th room to date.  Here is what I thought:

  • there were some interesting puzzles.  I would describe Crazy Doctor as a largely linear room.  The room is based on a real room in the Netherlands – the owners have taken photographs (photospheres) of each of the rooms and players point and click their way through.  The room has a good flow and was logical;
  • the theme is pretty scary and dark, so definitely not recommended for young kids;
  • this largely worked well, but there were instances when things couldn’t be clicked, or where the camera angle made things difficult to solve.  I gave this feedback to the owners after my experience; and
  • overall I though the experience was reasonably good. The cost of the room is €12.00 per connection, which I think is a little steep for a non-live hosted game (particularly given the many available options in the market).
