There’s a hostage situation in a shopping centre. You’ve locked yourself in the womens’ changing rooms. You’ve got an hour to help to free the hostages and escape. This is not the greatest shopping trip you’ve ever been on. It is, however, a thoroughly fun escape game. Puzzles involve a good mix of scrabbling around the room for hidden gear and racking your brains to try to solve tricksy codes. Halfway through the pace really starts to ramp up and it goes from feeling a tad like an errant employee has locked you in a shop overnight by mistake into feeling like you’re a team of agents attempting to bring down a coup from the inside. Ultimately, it passes our current test for a good escape game: are there any puzzles that we’ve never seen the likes of before? Yes. Yes there are.
