点评:First visit to a Pier Pressure escape room and we thoroughly enjoyed it! Our host Ben was really friendly and helpful, just the right amount of clues/nudges to stop us getting too stuck or frustrated; this is supposed to be fun after all. The room was well done (no marks to give away if something should be moved, no props looking a bit worse for wear) and the puzzles went from quite easy to a bit more complicated; one of the more difficult ones would've totally stumped us but our son got it immediately, somehow. Really liked the 'squeaky window' for the clues, so you don't have to read it if you don't want to; rooms where they speak the clues mean you don't get a choice to try and fumble your way through on your own. They take a team photo for you at the end that they then email it to you, with the brand and location added but, just an idea, maybe the team name and date/time could be added too? We did the room in just under the hour and the cost was on par with the other escape rooms we've done, so happy with that. Ben suggests that usually teams of six are best for the room, due to the nature of one of the puzzles, but we did okay with just the 3 of us. Will definitely be looking for other Pier Pressure rooms nearer home and hope they're as good as this one.
Tip 1: If you haven't been here before, park in the multi-storey just to the left of the Campus West building and go up the stairs on the left as you enter. Walk through, stop in the cafe area and ring to let them know you've arrived, they'll come and collect you.
Tip 2: there's a reasonable amount of reading - not just looking at stuff - so don't forget your glasses (like I did)
翻译:我们第一次体验Pier Pressure的密室逃脱,玩得非常开心!主持人Ben非常友好热情,他提供的线索和提示恰到好处,避免了我们卡关或感到沮丧;毕竟,这本来就是为了娱乐。房间布置得很好(没有标记表明物品是否需要移动,道具也都很新旧),谜题难度由浅入深;其中一个比较难的谜题我们本来都束手无策,但我们儿子居然一下子就解开了。我们很喜欢他们用“吱吱作响的窗户”来提示线索的设计,这样如果你不想看也可以选择不看;有些房间会直接说出线索,这就剥夺了你独立摸索的机会。游戏结束后,他们会给你们拍一张团队合照,然后通过邮件发送给你们,照片上会加上品牌和地点信息。不过,我们有个小建议:或许可以把团队名称和日期/时间也加上去?我们不到一个小时就通关了,价格和其他我们玩过的密室逃脱差不多,所以很满意。Ben建议说,由于其中一个谜题的特殊性,通常六人组队玩效果最好,不过我们三个人也玩得挺顺利。肯定会找找家附近其他Pier Pressure的密室,希望它们也和这家一样好。
小贴士1:如果你之前没来过,可以把车停在西校区左侧的多层停车场,然后进门后走左边的楼梯上去。穿过停车场,在咖啡厅停一下,打电话告诉他们你到了,他们会来接你。
小贴士2:里面有不少文字需要阅读——不仅仅是看看而已——所以别忘了带眼镜(就像我一样)。
