Overview of artificial intelligence

AIMost teams found Taken tough and many didn’t get out, yet they still walked away happy. Game masters like Ben, Karl, Sarah, Akka, and Connor get constant praise for friendly, funny, well‑timed help via the screen. The vibe is suspenseful and a bit scary but still works for birthdays and families when guided. A few notes mention a finicky lock and set design that’s decent rather than deluxe.
WeaknessesDifficulty spikes for smaller teams, especially pairs. One or two props felt awkward, and the set isn’t blockbuster‑level. Expect a time crunch near the finale.
StrengthsOutstanding hosting elevates the whole run, with hints that arrive right when you need them. Puzzles feel clever and varied, and the hour races by. Staff show real care, including accommodating accessibility needs.
SecurityClear briefings and active monitoring throughout. Staff demonstrated good accessibility awareness, even adding a chair for someone who needed it.
Level of fearCreepy tension with a few scares, but it’s not extreme horror. With calm guidance, older kids and nervous players manage fine.
Actors' gameNo in‑room actors, but the game masters are stars—warm, witty, and attentive. They tailor nudges and keep everyone comfortable and engaged.
Quality of riddlesMulti‑step logic, connections, and classic locks deliver satisfying aha moments. TV‑delivered clues are clear without handing you the answer. The final sequence can be tight on time, so teamwork matters.
PlotYou’re investigating a friend’s disappearance, get trapped by the killer, and have to outsmart the room to break free. The story stays urgent without spoiling its surprises.
Difficulty levelLeans hard; three to five players is the sweet spot, while duos may struggle. First‑timers can still enjoy it with hints and a steady host.

Did Taken tonight and had a blast even though the room beat us. Ben kept us laughing and nudged us at the right moments. Creepy in a fun way—coming back for round two.

Amazing room but definitely on the hard side. We got pretty far, opened a bunch of locks, though one key behaved oddly. We skipped asking for help, but the TV hints were still super useful. I’d suggest more than two players. We’ll return—maybe for an easier room first, then tackle Taken again.

Visited with a friend and loved Taken, win or not. The person on reception went the extra mile and, since I have mobility issues, offered a chair in the room, which made a big difference. The room was exciting with complex, interesting puzzles. Highly recommend.

Great challenge with smart puzzles and solid clueing. One lock felt a bit sticky and the set isn’t ultra high‑end, but it’s still a really good time.

My first escape room, playing with friends who’d done them before, and it was a blast. We were racing the clock, making connections, and the clue system was a fun touch. Big thanks to the friendly, professional team—we’ll be back!

We had a brilliant time in Taken, even though we didn’t make it out. The team was lovely, and Ben was a standout game master. We’ll be back for another try.
