great hostingquite easy
As our speed suggests, one of the easier rooms we've played (though we still got stuck by missing something!) , but enjoyable and with the nice hook that you're finding five diamonds along the way. This would make a good room for novices, there's a decent variety of puzzles and the setting isn't likely to throw you off with red herrings. (A nice way of saying it's a little sparse, perhaps, but it works.)

Don't let the simplistic set put you off these guys! The puzzles are great and the game flows so well! Highly recommend! πŸ™‚

value for moneyclevergreat hosting
Like all of the other rooms at the venue, decoration is sparse but effective, this game starts with a lot of searching including one type of hiding place I have never encountered before!  Your task is to find and retrieve 5 diamonds before the Mr Big comes back (he should be away for 60 minutes conveniently enough).  Progress is mostly linear in nature but that’s not to say there are some clever puzzles along the way.  Once again an incredibly fun way to spend an hour whether you are a beginner or an experienced player.  Our GM was Adam who expertly nudged back on course and was great throughout.

The first time I played an escape game as a pair, and this relatively easy room was a good place to start. Fun for beginners although more experienced players may find it a bit bog standard.
