So apparently there's this thing where you're locked in a room and you have to escape by solving a series of puzzles and such in under 60 mins. Sounds like it would be a bit of craic and there's one in Dublin since May.

Anyone tried it? Am I alone in thinking this is awesome?

It was brilliant craic

Sheep Lover

Lock yourself in the jacks and feck the key out the window. No time limit or expense then.

The Backwards Man

I got locked in a pub once, that was great craic too

jamesbere

El Guapo!

Is it like Saw?

Mr Teeny

We did it a few weeks back. Brilliant fun. If you like things like the Crystal Maze you'll love it! They have a second room open now too so we'll be going back to give that one a go too. :-)

If you don't make it out within 60 minutes you get impregnated by a Josif Fritzl lookalike.

Acciaccatura

Did the one in Cologne back in July,it was amazing! Lots of logic and problem solving type stuff, no horror element to it or things jumping out at you. Where's the one in Dublin?

Turtyturd

Had been dying to get back to Orlando to try this one. (Hope nobody takes that literally)

Boards has something similar

You can 'play' any time you want ......for free!

It's good craic but it lacks a bit of polish.
Not all of the 'tricks' were set up properly. It was possible to by-pass some simply because I could reach into a tight space or could see scratch marks on the ground where furniture has obviously been moved a dozen times a day.

It's good fun, especially if you like the Crystal maze. It's often on groupon so keep an eye out for that.
I'd be reluctant to pay full price again.

Neyite

I'm crap at puzzles so I'd probably starve to death in a room that required me to solve a puzzle to escape. :pac:

Though I know people who would love it.

Yester

Cheers. Sounds good. I will give it a go.

That's quite peculiar for a Dublin-based establishment.
