Comments:
My inaugural visit to the O'Connell Street branch at Scram was a delightful experience, largely thanks to the welcoming host and gamesmaster, Annie. Simon and I were taking this room on with my partner and my brother instead of our usual team of four but right from the start, Annie's exceptional service stood out. Despite arriving with one less person than our booking, she skilfully navigated the situation, ensuring we only paid for the attendees present – a thoughtful gesture considering typical company terms and conditions.
Moving on to the room itself, it lived up to its pre-description, delivering a genuine sense of entrapment. The innovative setup, sparked intriguing brainstorming sessions early on. The room's mechanics were particularly noteworthy, featuring multiple electro-magnets that seamlessly activated when puzzles were solved, revealing hidden elements.
However, we encountered a brief hiccup in the middle of the experience. Due to a mistaken use of a prop, we unintentionally skipped a few puzzles, disrupting the intended sequence of events. With the guidance of our fantastic gamesmaster and some thoughtful deliberation, we were promptly redirected back on course. The room boasted well-timed jump scares, contributing to its dark and eerie ambiance.
Despite a minor time extension due to our detour, we emerged victorious. Eager to explore more, we plan to return to tackle the other two rooms at this venue.
