![]() ![]() This one could be reworked and updated maybe to add a little mild scare and pizzazz, but it's ok. The last couple of puzzles look a bit newer and added something different. At times we did feel like we'd missed things and were wandering around looking for things, but an occasional hint pointed us back on track. Wonky Workshops, owned and operated by Poppa Plock, is an escape room with a horror theme for 18 players. It’s an experience that will challenge your mind and bring out your inner detective. Despite that, the puzzles are mostly fun and logical, and if you like old-school padlock rooms then this should be fine. Houdini Escape Room is a great way to get friends and family together for an unforgettable adventure. The storyline works somewhat, but lacks a bit of a wow factor. The train theme works and it does feel a bit like you're in a dining carriage. It reminds me of the older rooms we've played, maybe in need of a bit of tlc but the bare bones of something nice is there. As it was, we felt a bit awkward in the communal areas and couldn't wait to get out of there. ![]() It just felt very impersonal, and if it's staff inexperience then they could at least give her a bit of direction about how to welcome players and what their needs might be. ![]() Similarly, after it finished there was no offer of a team photo, just 'you did very well' and hardly any conversation. We just got told it was at the top of the stairs and left to our own devices. We had a little bit of direction about padlocks, weren't asked the usual things like if we'd like to use the bathroom or escorted to the room. The lady seemed really shy so I felt a bit sorry for her, but it just felt very unusual to arrive at a venue and have very little discussion with the host. Houdini’s Workshop is heavily inspired by magic shows and the illusions of Houdini, with several moments in the game that use elements of stage magic seamlessly along with the puzzles to create a truly mystifying experience for your team. I don't like to say negative things about individuals, and I wonder if the staff member was new, but this felt like the least welcoming company we've been to. Our Houdini escape room takes you back in time to 1926, to the place where Houdini prepared all his illusions and tricks for his shows. My first thoughts about this room are more about the company in general.
