Professor Puzzle | Escape from Grand Hotel | Puzzle | Ages 12+ | 2+ Players

Product Information

During the evening, they must travel through the hotel solving the series of mysterious puzzles that release them from each room. So much reading and easy puzzles at the start, it would have been difficult to keep 8 players entertained. If you type something in the 'Text to display' box, that will be displayed instead of any star rating.

I was difficult for 2 to share solving the puzzles in the different rooms and I cannot see how 8 people could be involved.

It could have been that the final stage tech wasn't as smooth as the rest or maybe just that our expectations were too high after enjoying their other rooms. Professor Puzzle provided duplicate copies of one of the more tedious puzzles so that more players could participate.

We were ready for a night to remember – little did we suspect it would be for all the wrong reasons! This is a very well presented game with its smart box and mysterious envelopes, so it looked extremely promising for an evening's family entertainment. Professor Puzzle’s Escape from the Grand Hotel was a standard play-at-home escape game with a moderate to high level of difficulty. The decor really is superb and the actors go out of their way to make the whole experience feel genuine.

To win the game, you must answer all the puzzles within the envelopes, escape the hotel and work out what is happening behind its closed doors. Editor-In-Chief at Room Escape Artist: Whether she is editing REA’s content, leading the Hivemind, or wrangling the logistics for RECON or the Escape, Immerse, Explore Tours, Lisa is the reason that everything runs like clockwork. Your experience of this game is very similar to ours, but we found the game far too easy, until we got to the coded fax. Or try a 90-minute experience escaping from criminals on a 1920s sleeper train, or dark goings-on at the Grand Hotel. The effects and tech was outstanding but the host did seem eager to give hints, several times before we asked.

Other times we uncovered a more cryptic clue like the color of one of the doors or some other descriptor. Your guests travel through the hotel, solving the series of interactive puzzles that release them from each room.The trails themselves require very little puzzle-solving and a bit more of a challenge would be very welcome but the object here is to immerse yourself in this steam punk world and go on a few adventures along the way. When the Blossoms’ glamorous, rich and influential guests arrive for the grand reopening, they’re ready for a night to remember – but little do they suspect it will be for all the wrong reasons! Brought this for a party I am hosting over Christmas and gave this a trial run with a group of friends over the weekend - great fun solving all the puzzles and racing against the clock. If you also set a star rating, the star rating won't be shown anywhere but will still be used when calculating the game's overall score on Escape The Review.
