Room Description: 

You are detectives in charge of investigating an incident whereby a lift in a commercial building malfunctioned resulting in two casualties.

Up until now, the case had little progress due to lack of evidence and a previous detective team had classified the incident as a human error accident.

Recently, the Criminal Investigation Department received an anonymous message, which claims that a crucial piece of evidence was left in the building. Now, you and your team are heading to the crime scene for further investigation.

Comments:
Kyle: Trapped! marked our 8th escape room adventure as a group and our 4th with the Mission brand. Once again, Mission delivered a top-tier experience with their commitment to quality and leadership in high-tech, mechanically-based puzzles. While the majority of the puzzles seamlessly fit the room's theme, there was one towards the end that felt a bit out of place, although we eventually cracked it. Notably, Trapped! became the first room where, as a team, we discovered Simon's struggle with opening the standard safe lock. Despite this, the overall immersion was excellent, the puzzles were cohesive, and, as always, we had a fantastic time at Mission.

Simon: This room was the first time I had experienced an escape room by Mission Escape that wasn't really expansive, which was perfect as it added to the claustrophobic feel. Dont worry though, there was still plenty of room so you won't feel suffocated. Once again the setting was quite immersive and the puzzles were actually fairly difficult. There were also some physical activies to complete in this room which I had never done before in an escape room which made it unique! In this room, after months and months of being our teams ever trusty locksmith I was unable to open up a locked safe due to a dodgy lock. What's the phrase again ... a good tradesman always blames his tools? I relinquished my title and gracefully handed it over to Kyle!
