About the escape room
Many years ago an ancient statue of the Egyptian cat goddess Bastet was stolen from the private collection of Lord Barrington Smyth. This statue was not only said to be one of his favourite pieces, but was also believed to have great powers, bestowing great fortune upon its owner. There had been no information regarding the location of the lost statue, until recently Lord Barrington heard rumours that a statue matching Bastet's description is now in the possession of a local Mystic, who lives deep in the National forest. Lord Barrington needs you to enter the Mystic's Cabin to locate and retrieve the statue, and so return it to its rightful owner! Do you dare to enter the Mystic's secret domain?

Quality of riddlesVaried, fair, and imaginative, with several genuine a‑ha moments and strong deduction. They’re tightly clued and flow logically, avoiding dead ends. Innovation is a recurring highlight.
PlotYou’re sent to a mystic’s forest cabin to track down the stolen Bastet statue and return it to its owner. The story weaves through the tasks with quirky touches and the odd twist.
