On Saturday 18th of January the full Team Black Rose got together again (yay!) to play one of our long awaited rooms: The new one from Time Maze. We saw Adventure Rooms also has a couple of rooms in the area so hey, why not!

The forbidden city 1901 – Time Maze 9/10

Die Verbotene Stadt 1901 Time Maze Baden

Time Maze’s second room follows in the first room’s footsteps in terms of immersion, hard work and massive love to detail. We had been looking forward to playing this room for a while and did not get disappointed! So much magic going on, and all invisible to the player. This was like the bottle of wine that we were saving waiting for it to be opened at the right time. 🍷

Sherlock – Adventure Rooms 6.5/10

Elementary my dear Watson

Oh boy, another Sherlock room. Let’s see. This Sherlock is set in the modern times. A classical start that leaves you handcuffed for no reason. Technically, you are being convicted for a crime you didn’t commit – but you’ll have to prove it! Fine. The experience makes you walk through quite a bunch of distinct settings starting in a metro station. Personally, I found that cool, the sets are clearly distinct and don’t overstay their welcome. That being said, some are better polished than others. Our group had mixed feelings about the room, thus the not-so-good final score.

Lost Circus – Adventure Rooms 5/10

Clowning around

You start locked in a prison that has an open lock, for safety regulations. You are told to imagine it’s locked and to get out when you get the key. Well, when you get the key it doesn’t even match the lock so you can start making that imagination work. This already starts me with the wrong foot. If you don’t have a better workaround for being locked, please find an alternative start… The problem is we had to keep our imagination going. The first 2 meter long dexterity puzzle was pre-solved because it was broken. “Don’t worry we solved it for you because it doesn’t work”.

This room has many aspects of it to be improved and it has a decent narrative and a memorable ending. Maybe if you play it far in the future, the issues are fixed.
