Yuki Sato β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Did this as a virtual team social. Came in around the two hour mark and we only reached for a single clue the whole way, which we were dead chuffed with. Genuin[...](#)ely good fun and pitched just right for a mixed bunch." Omar Najjar β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Used this in place of the usual Christmas meal at work and it landed far better than anyone expected. Flicking between the pages to find a clue you'd already pa[...](#)ssed got slightly fiddly, but the whole break-into-the-boss's-office-and-delete-the-email plot was a winner and the lot of us mucked in." Lerato Mokoena β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Good laugh but a bit pricier feeling than we expected." Tarek Boulos β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Fun but the constant clicking back got annoying" Layla Hadid β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Brilliant fun for our work do." Rania Haddad β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Five of us ran this as a December team thing on Meet right before we clocked off for the holidays. The idea of having to delete the email you'd fired at your bo[...](#)ss is properly funny and far too close to home. We tapped the clues page early on to find our feet, and I'd warn you the difficulty jumps without much of a run-up, with one puzzle asking for a leap I never spotted the logic behind. Even so the whole crew loved it and there was loads of shouting at the screen. Good shout for a work lot, just brace yourself for a tough one." Arun Subramaniam β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Our work Christmas catch-up runs on Meet now and this fit the bill. It went a touch over two hours, with a fair bit of darting between screens that wore thin. T[...](#)he plot of scrubbing that email before the boss saw it was great. Dave came back fast when a code didnt seem to land." Nisha Pandya β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Loved this, Dave got back to us within minutes when one hint wasn't making sense." Tegan Birchall β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Picked this for a team social with the lot of us logging in from home. Good fun and nicely built, though you do find yourself bouncing between screens an awful [...](#)lot to chase a clue, which got a touch wearing. Still a grand way to pull a remote team together." Karim Saleh β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Smashing team night, Dave was a star, dont be scared off." Shilpa Goswami β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Played this over Christmas with my mum, dad and sister and we never quite finished, the bit where you have to get past the boss's locked office door had the fou[...](#)r of us bickering over the code for a solid twenty minutes. Smashing way to pass a festive evening even so." Tendai Moyo β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Great fun, will be doing another." Nathaniel Brockbank β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Ran this for our festive team get-together with everyone tuning in from their own homes. Loved the whole caper of creeping in to wipe that incriminating email o[...](#)ff the boss's computer before he reads it. We're already eyeing up another for the new year." Hari Venkatesan β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Gave the advanced one a go, definately had us thinking. Proper laugh." Marcus Sidebottom β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Ran this for the work do this year now half the team are dotted round the country and nobody fancied another grim online quiz. The bit where you come to on the [...](#)morning after the party and realise the email you fired off to the boss could end your career had people pointing fingers and crying laughing. It took us a smidge over two hours, everybody shouting suggestions at once and nobody listening. When one answer wouldn't go in, the clues page nudged us back on track. Booking January's one already, properly good fun." Blessing Chikondi β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Our department swerves the usual Christmas meal now and does something everyone can join from their own front room, so five of us hopped on Teams from five diff[...](#)erent kitchens. The setup, waking the morning after the do needing to wipe an email you fired at the boss before he reads it, had us howling before a single puzzle. The middle caught us out and we were stuck ages trying to get inside his office. I've docked a star because one riddle felt more guess than logic. Came in at well under a fiver each though, and I'd sign us up for another tomorrow." Maddison Holroyd β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Set this going for our team's December social and it went down a storm. There's a bit of hopping between screens to chase clues, nothing dreadful. Wiping that e[...](#)mail off the boss's machine before he reads it kept everyone hooked. Dave came back fast when we couldn't agree on an answer." Aditi Banerjee β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Really good fun, Dave was very patient with us." Leila Mansour β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Got the whole team onto Zoom for this as our festive do. It ran a fair stretch, somewhere near two hours with a brew break partway through. My one niggle is the[...](#) to-ing and fro-ing between screens to revisit a clue, you can lose track of where you were. Beyond that it was a genuine laugh and the hunt to wipe that email before the boss claps eyes on it kept the whole lot of us gripped right to the close." Hana Kim β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Booked this for the work Christmas do as a fair few of us are home-based now. We took the advanced route and it gave the brains a proper workout, prising open t[...](#)he boss's office to bin that email had us stumped a good while. Great fun and a smart pick for a scattered team." Vikash Chandra β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Four of us cracked it in roughly ninety minutes one evening. My only quibble is you do a lot of jumping between screens to dig out something you've already seen[...](#), a single menu page would save the bother. Apart from that a smashing night, and the morning-after-the-office-party angle was bang on." Bryony Crewe β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Good laugh, bit too much clicking back and next" Rohini Devarajan β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Fab evening with the team, Tim was really helpful when we got stuck." Mai Tanaka β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Did this for our work do, properly good laugh." Sipho Ndlovu β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Sorted this for the work crowd in place of a night out, with everyone joining from their own sofas. We dipped into the clues page a fair few times, though that [...](#)says more about us than the puzzles. Thoroughly enjoyed it and a lovely way to round up the gang." Kenji Watanabe β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"Did this with the in-laws in the dead week after Christmas. No clock ticking meant we paused whenever someone went for a mince pie. Marked it down a star as two[...](#) boss-office locks ran on the same wheeze, but a fine laugh wiping that email." Thandiwe Dube β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"got the family on zoom one october afternoon for this. the panic of binning that drunken email to the boss before he showed up was a riot. one desk-drawer code [...](#)had us stumped and we caved to the clues page. up for another." Kieran Ollerton β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"every december our little crew has a knees-up online instead of trekking to a restaurant, and with us spread right across the south coast this was ideal. we all[...](#) dialled into zoom with one person sharing their screen and it ran without a hitch. having to sneak in and scrub that email before the boss spotted it really got us going. my one gripe is i thought the step up in difficulty arrived without much warning and one section nearly finished us off. cracking value for the whole gang though, money very well spent." Lydia Ravenscroft β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"We're a family spread all over so a games night online is about the only way we get everyone together. Picked this one and really enjoyed the whole break-in-and[...](#)-delete-the-email plot. The only thing that bugged us was constantly clicking back to find a clue we'd already seen, a home page would sort that. Genuinely good value for the whole group though and we'll be doing another" Farai Ncube β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"We did the Christmas Party escape room with the office and it was great fun!

I would highly recommend (and the customer services were really helpful too with booking)!" Jonathan Gibson β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…β˜…"We did the Christmas escape for our virtual Christmas party at work and it worked really well. User friendly, challenging but also great fun. We set up two team[...](#)s for a bit of friendly competition against each other, using separate zooms and with a moderator who could flit between the two teams to help them with hints and tips.
