Last [month] several "gifted" people escaped from a locked room by completing tasks. After a rather shaky start, the collective began to rattle through the room like a whirlwind!

Much excitement came when, with 20-plus minutes left on the clock, Karolina opened the door thinking we had escaped. But we hadn't. The sneaky tricksters had another room off the main room! Anyhow, we smashed that too proving that 6 heads are better than 1. Well done team!

"Next in we have "The Goonies", consisting of Joanne, Eddy, Si, Simon, Marc and Karolina who entered the Empty Cabin as a nice team building exercise, hopefully it can bring them together.

With only one member having any prior experience with escape rooms, it seemed like they would be a bit slower at the start. It was quite the opposite as they flew through the early puzzles and soon cracked on with the harder puzzles.

They ended up needing one or two hints here and there but managed to do most of the rooms with no help, including some of the harder puzzles. They were nearing the end, but the clock was catching up. It was a close race but they managed to escape with 4 minutes and 24 seconds left on the clock!!!

Amazing job guys! You aced that, and glad you enjoyed yourselves as well! Hopefully, we will see you again either as a team or with others to try and tackle our other rooms!"
