Lake Escapes: Modern Detective (Play at Home)

Lake Escapes: Modern Detective (Play at Home)

3 March 2021

At times we were frustrated with this game, but overall it was a decent game. I have no doubt that it would be better in real life, but for a digitised room it should still keep you entertained for at least an hour

Mythologic: The Island (Play at Home)

Mythologic: The Island (Play at Home)

We really wanted to like this game but found the puzzles really let it down. It could be that the puzzles just didn’t click for us and you may enjoy it. If you do play this game, let us know how you get on.

Elgin Escape: Piper Asylum (Play at Home)

Elgin Escape: Piper Asylum (Play at Home)

Since the emergence of play at home escape room style experiences emerged nearly a year ago, one of the most sought after types is one that allows teams to play collaboratively from near and far. With Piper Asylum, Elgin Escapes has added another enjoyable game that is perfectly suited to players across multiple households

Puzzle Punks: Save King's Landing (Play at Home)

Puzzle Punks: Save King’s Landing (Play at Home)

With the 360 view, the inventory, and Sir Dontos, we had everything we needed to have an enjoyable stay in King’s Landing and came away from this game with that wonderful escape room buzz.

The Panic Room: The Panic Room (Play at Home)

The Panic Room: The Panic Room (Play at Home)

The Panic Room Puzzle Book Experience was similar to other games of a similar nature from The Panic Room, and had a few puzzling highlights, and a few tricky moments. Just remember: Don’t Panic!

The Panic Room: The Book of Grimm (Play at Home)

The Panic Room: The Book of Grimm (Play at Home)

Escapers looking for a tangible play at home game that won’t break the bank and isn’t an Exit box would do well to look at the range of Puzzle Books from The Panic Room. The Book of Grimm had some solid puzzles and kept us entertained for well over an hour, while providing a nice dose of nostalgia for some favourite childhood stories

The Panic Room: Frankenstein's Book (Play at Home)

The Panic Room: Frankenstein’s Book (Play at Home)

We had a bit of a love/hate relationship with this game. The idea is great, but we struggled on a few puzzles. Either way, if we’re going away for a break sometime, I could see us taking a couple puzzle books with us

Improbable Escapes: Cure for the Common Zombie (Play at Home)

Improbable Escapes: Cure for the Common Zombie (Play at Home)

Can you have wholesome family friendly zombie fun? Apparently you can at Improbable Escapes. Unless of course, you’re concerned about a few severed limbs. I have little doubt that Cure for the Common Zombie would be better in person than remotely, but even online it was still good fun.

clueQuest: Mechanics of the Heart (Play at Home)

clueQuest: Mechanics of the Heart (Play at Home)

I think we could all use a little more love in these trying times, and whether you choose to play Mechanics of the Heart on Valentines Day, or not, the message is the same, and a perfect way to share the love with those you care about.

Make Valentine’s Day Special with a Play at Home Escape Game

Make Valentine’s Day Special with a Play at Home Escape Game

If you’re looking to break the monotony of pandemic life, then you should really consider an online escape room. If you’re reading this then you’ve probably heard of escape rooms, those games where you get locked (it’s never fully locked) in a room and then have to solve puzzles to escape, well now you can play them from the comfort of your own home

Sherlocked: The Vault (Play at Home)

Sherlocked: The Vault (Play at Home)

There is no doubt this was an impressive set with a strong story, but we felt it was lacking in puzzles. With a lot of waiting and simplified puzzles, this game left us wanting more from our time in the Vault, either way, we’ll certainly give the ‘real’ room a try in real life when the world allows.
