Company Mary Shelly's House of Frankenstein

Way too dark at the start and only one torch meant three of us were just waiting around. When the lights finally came on, the momentum was already gone. Atmosphere’s neat, but the visibility fight isn’t fun.

Loved the dusty Frankenstein vibe and the oddball props, which made the space feel alive. Not the crunchiest puzzles, but our group had a blast once the room opened up. Staff were upbeat and set the tone nicely.

A couple of puzzles were solid, yet most felt either nonsensical or too basic. With many similar key mechanisms and several unused elements, plus a very dark start with only one torch until much later, the flow suffers and the game leans on frustration over logic.

We kept solving something only to realize a lock had already popped elsewhere, so we circled back and burned time. Cool set, but clearer feedback would help a ton.

A few nice theming touches and a decent set, but the puzzle design feels early-draft, with red herrings and some leaps in logic that dulled the fun for us.

Good gameplay overall, but when mechanisms auto-opened it wasn’t obvious, so we reworked solved steps and bled time. That confusion cost us the escape.

Theme is spot on and the story idea is cool. As casual players we enjoyed the experience, even if a couple of steps felt like leaps rather than logic. Would recommend for the mood alone.

Went in expecting light on puzzles but strong theming, and it delivered a surprisingly enjoyable session. The room looks great, not overly puzzle-heavy, and our host was genuinely lovely.

Neat gadgets, but so many similar keys and locks that we kept matching the wrong clues. A few puzzles hit, others felt half-baked. Mixed bag overall.
