点评:I've played a lot of escape rooms in different countries in Europe, and I knew going in that this was not a traditional escape room in the sense that you try to escape in the shortest amount of time possible. They make that clear on the website. What they do not make clear is that your progress is not your own. Our group of four felt we were making really good progress, but when we were informed in game that we needed to find a key to advance, we were stumped. We searched high and low, retraced steps, brainstormed and double checked when suddenly without us doing anything, a key dropped from the ceiling. After the game we found out that this is because they run multiple teams simultaneously, and you can only progress to the next room once the previous team has vacated it. I want to really, really highlight that this would not have bothered us at all if the company had been upfront about the setup. But the dishonesty left a sour taste in our mouths after the game, and during the game we felt frustrated with our lack of progress in that particular section, which carried over to the next rooms and left us with a sense of frustration that made what would normally be small annoyances (inconvenient lighting, broken bulbs making it unclear if we had correctly solved something) feel like much larger issues than they really were. As a result of this we will not be returning.
翻译:我在欧洲很多国家玩过密室逃脱,所以一开始就知道这家店不是传统意义上的密室逃脱,不是那种以最短时间逃脱的。他们在网站上也明确说明了这一点。但他们没有说明的是,你的进度并非完全由你掌控。我们四个人感觉进展很顺利,但游戏开始时,当我们被告知需要找到钥匙才能继续前进时,我们却束手无策。我们上上下下地寻找,反复推敲,集思广益,反复检查,结果突然间,一把钥匙从天花板上掉了下来,而我们什么都没做。游戏结束后我们才知道,这是因为他们同时开放多个房间,只有前一个房间的队伍离开后,你才能进入下一个房间。我真的想强调,如果这家公司事先说明这一点,我们就不会遇到这个问题了。但游戏结束后,这种不诚实的行为让我们感到非常不舒服。游戏过程中,我们因为在那个特定环节进展缓慢而感到沮丧,这种沮丧感延续到了接下来的房间,让我们对一些原本只是小问题(比如光线昏暗、灯泡坏了导致无法判断是否正确解谜)感到无比恼火。因此,我们不会再来了。
