点评:We chose to visit Top Escape Rooms and play 'Mystic Temple' as a 60th birthday treat for my husband, with friends. What a good choice this was as we found it great fun!
The game designer and host, Adam, gave us a fun and friendly welcome with a useful briefing, then we were onto the game. Only one of our number was experienced with escape rooms, the rest of us wondering if it would be like 'The Crystal Maze' TV show. Luckily there was no running around, and the puzzles did not disappoint.
We found the puzzles to be of perfect difficulty, not too easy as to give no satisfaction, but not too hard as to stump us entirely, just right to make us feel clever. If we were clumsy with a lock but had the right code then the 'Monkeys' (Adam) would prompt us through the TV screen so we wouldn't waste time thinking we'd got it wrong. It was just the right amount of intervention.
The puzzles were inventive and fun and we were thoroughly entertained for the duration. Adam is joyfully enthusiastic about his Escape Rooms when we asked him questions afterwards. Both our experienced friend and us newbies loved the room. Adam has us hooked now as we are planning a trip to his Christmas rooms because Mystic Temple was so much fun.
翻译:我们决定和朋友们一起去Top Escape Rooms体验“神秘神庙”这道游戏,作为为我丈夫庆祝60岁生日的礼物。这个选择真是太棒了,我们玩得乐不可支!
游戏设计师兼主持人亚当热情友好地接待了我们,还做了详细的游戏说明。随后我们便开始玩游戏了。我们当中只有一个人有过玩密室逃脱游戏的经验,其他人都在猜测这是否会像电视节目《Crystal Maze》里那样。幸运的是,游戏中并不需要四处乱跑,那些谜题也确实精彩绝伦、令人满意。我们认为这些谜题的难度恰到好处:既不会太简单而让人索然无味,也不会太难到让我们束手无策,正好能让我们体会到自己“很聪明”的感觉。即便我们操作锁具时有些笨手笨脚,但只要输入了正确的密码,“猴子们”(亚当)就会通过电视屏幕给出提示,这样我们就不会浪费时间去纠结自己是否做错了。这种干预程度刚刚好。
这些谜题富有创意又妙趣横生,整个过程中我们都乐在其中。后来我们向亚当询问感受时,他兴奋不已地谈起了那些密室逃脱游戏。我们这些新手以及那位经验丰富的朋友都非常喜欢这个密室。由于“神秘神殿”实在太有趣了,现在我们都被吸引住了,正打算去体验他举办的圣诞主题密室呢。
