Happy Hour Escape Room Review

Happy Hour Escape Game
Paris, France

Professor Zoltan's Virus: Professor Zoltan has gone mad and plans to release a deadly virus that will destroy humanity. We had  to locate the virus and flee the lab in order to foil his evil plan.

Police Academy of Palmento City: As police academy cadets we had to pass one final exam: defuse the bomb and escape with our lives. 

Pros: The game master enthusiastically introduced the story and dressed us appropriately for the parts we had to play. The added touch of costumes always adds to the experience, so hats off to Happy Hour Escape Rooms for props and costumes! The game master offered much needed hints through a monitor on the wall. Thankfully, we only needed a few hints here and there as the puzzles were clear and quite solvable. The game flow was linear and logical with each puzzle proceeding clearly from one to the next. 

Cons: The sets were basic in design but clearly aligned to the story. However, not all the puzzles fit the theme and storyline. At the end of the day, this was an overall solid middle-of-the road escape room experience. So grab a croissant and play a game or two  at Happy Hour Escape Game in Paris!
