The Wicklewood Heritage: An eccentric adventurer named Lord Wicklewood converted his apartment into a treasure hunter's dream with a series of puzzles and riddles designed to engage willing game players for generations to come. We were invited to play his game and prove ourselves worthy of the title escapologists.
Pros: The mystery began from the moment we stepped into the room. We appreciated the added intrigue even before beginning the official game. Upon entering Lord Wicklewood's apartment, we discovered a wide variety of puzzle types. This room had some unique mechanical puzzles and riddles which were fun to solve. The game master helped as necessary, though part of the fun was the relative independence of the game. We progressed quickly through the puzzles and successfully escaped.
Cons: The storyline was not clear to us in the beginning and not clear throughout the game. The room was decorated and filled with props but not in any spectacular way.
We enjoyed our experience in the Wicklewood Heritage. This was a great game for newbies and escape room addicts alike!
