Yesterday we played what I would consider the worst escape room I’ve ever seen anywhere in the world. We walked out halfway through. I feel so embarrassed for our industry when I see operators rip off the public by filling a room with a load of poor quality, disconnected, irrelevant rubbish, and then not cleaning it or maintaining it. I got lots of pictures, because there was no camera system watching, no gamesmaster watching, we were literally free to do what we wanted. Not gonna share all the pictures, but still in shock at how bad it was.
