My Sherlock Holmes Experience @ The Escape Hunt!

There's a fast growing market for Escape room games here for the past year. The innovative Japanese had developed this real life computer inspired games since years ago & this trend has now 'blow' to Sg... 

At the invitation of my blogger friend ~ CK (http://ckchai.blogspot.com), I got my first chance to experience playing escape game at this 3 month old venue ~ The Escape Hunt, located at Concorde Hotel, Level 2. 

Upon entering the main entrance, I felt like being transported into an English cafe as there were nice chandeliers and warm ambience lighting with cozy sofas! We were served water while waiting for the rest of the players to gather... Before the game commence, we were brief on the rules of the game. Basically, we have 60 minutes to solve the puzzles in the room & for each hint that we request help for, 1 minute will be added to our total time. No bags and hp are allow as our belongings are safe-keep by the staff...

With much excitement, CK, me & 4 others formed a team and stepped into the dim room... In order not to give-away the game for those who have not tried, personally I felt that this is fun for those who enjoy being Sherlock Holmes and like mystery stories....The room that we got was the Most Difficult (only found out after play finish, haha!). Our team was stuck in the first part for quite some time... the puzzles were really tough & you gotto think out of the box and at times even require mathematical skills! Geez! My Maths is really bad & thankfully, we got 2 guys in our team to solve those. 

What surprise us, was the room in a room (or more) setup, which is totally concealed at first glance... Every piece of furniture has a possibility of linking you to a clue (some may be smoke bomb thou'). We nearly couldn't break out & with racing hearts, we found the key to escape at the 11th Hour! Wah! That's a Feat, isn't it?! As we got utilise 1 hint, we clocked 61 minutes...

The staff helped us to dress up in their tailored made costumes for some photos and there were a number of interesting props (such as spectacles, magnifying glass, guns etc) to go with as well! After shooting, we could even relax on the sofa for some premium TWG tea & cookie to exchange photos & chit chat.... It's a fun experience after all!
