The Toy Maker has moments that will wow you, moments that may frustrate you, and many many moments that will simply bring you joy. This is a lovely game and Big Break Hamburg have created a game that you just simply don’t want to leave
Hamburg
Skurrilum: Malvini’s Legacy (Hamburg)
Malvini’s Legacy is a good traditional escape room. It doesn’t have the ‘wow factor’ of the Ernie Hudson games, but if you want a fun escape room with some decent effects, good lighting, and enjoyable puzzles, oh and with a hint of magic – then this isn’t a bad choice.
Skurrilum: Ghosthunter Ernie Hudson and the Wailing Woman (Hamburg)
I can see why Ernie Hudson and the Wailing Woman is so well regarded in Hamburg. Strong puzzles, great story and immersion, and generally just a really fun game to experience.
Skurrilum: Ghosthunter Ernie Hudson and the Zoo of Death (Hamburg)
I was very much looking forward to investigating the Zoo of Death, and to be honest, it didn’t disappoint. While the Wailing Woman is perhaps a slightly better game, it is subjective and entirely dependent on player preference
Hidden in Hamburg: Neptune’s Curse (Hamburg)
Neptune’s Curse aboard the Rickmer Rickmers was my favourite of all the games we played at Hidden in Hamburg. With a narrative that took full advantage of its unique venue, plus some pretty solid puzzling, this game stood out amongst the other options at Hidden in Hamburg.
Hidden in Hamburg: The Golden Skull (Hamburg)
The Golden Skull wasn’t quite my favourite game at Hidden in Hamburg, but it was definitely my favourite aboard The Capt San Diego. With a beautiful set, an adventurous narrative, and plenty of pleasing puzzles, what’s not to love?
Hidden in Hamburg: Master of Time (Hamburg)
Master of Time was a good start to our Hamburg experience and had a good mix of tech and physical interactions. If you’re unsure on playing because it’s on a boat, then don’t worry, the boat is so big that you’ll soon find yourself forgetting that you’re not on dry land.
