Time Trap – Pudding Lane
Location: Reading
Game Date: 26/08/2020
Team: Amy & Ian
Duration: 60 minutes
Theme:
“It’s Tuesday 4th September 1666 and The Great Fire of London has been burning for two days. Order has begun to break down and chaos is threatening to erupt – fuelled by the rumours that the fire was started on purpose… Londoners are blaming every stranger that crosses their path. Is it another attack in the long running feud with the Catholics? A retaliation in the war with the Dutch? Or was it just an accident?
Game Play:
A multi-linear game. That had a delectable assortment of puzzles, visual, codebreaking, word, logic, teamwork, physical and a small amount of searching. With the game leaning more towards the logic and word end of the scale (so I was happy!) but truly a gret mix of puzzles, ensuring that there will be something for everyone in this room.
Puzzles were nicely on theme, interactive and all felt like they really came from the space rather than puzzles that sat on top of the theme.
Logic was paramount in these puzzles, and the ah-ha moments were forthcoming, engaging and delightful.
A very busy room, that had great flow, there were no sticky or slow points and the puzzles ran beautifully from one to the next
Signposting was in theme, yet not overly directive.
A great game that whilst it would be a BIG game for beginners, it’s outstanding logic and smart puzzles will aid first timers, and enthrall enthusiasts.
Clue System:

Game Host:
Scott was our game host and gave us a friendly welcome, and a great brief. But where he really shone was his game hosting, perfectly timed clues and whilst we did encounter a small technical issue, his professionalism meant that it did not effect our game in any way. He delt with it with excellence.
Covid19 Safety:
We felt very safe at Time Trap, the premises was clean, toilets were spotless and masks were required at all times.
Did we escape?
Yes, in 53 minutes
