Tuesdays are for tasty food, tenacious friends and triumphant games. But when your neighbour Dave, doesn’t get invited, he devises a plan to take you and your friends hostage in the hopes he can prove himself a worthy game night contender. Is he just a lonely guy wanting to make new friends or has he been spying on you and has something more sinister planned? Make your way through his puzzle filled house to discover the truth.

Comments:
Games Night was the second room I, Kyle, organized on behalf of my younger brother for his birthday. After catching the escape room bug following our first room experience with our now-established group, I was eager to introduce a new group of mutual friends and my brother to the excitement. Though not all were as hooked as I hoped, we still had a fun night together.

The room itself was enjoyable, packed with content, making it advisable to go with at least five people. True to Labyrinth's non-linear theme, there were plenty of tasks for individuals to tackle simultaneously throughout the room.

What sets Games Night apart is its light-hearted approach, diverging from the typical scenario of being trapped by a murderous villain. The room exudes a delightful sense of humor, which persists right up to the very end, enhancing our enjoyment. The puzzles were diverse and entertaining, each logically structured and cohesive.

Theming was excellently executed, with props and puzzle elements seamlessly integrated into the space, creating an immersive experience akin to being in Dave's house. The absence of dark sections makes this room suitable for families and younger players, adding to its appeal.
