20.01.20 - The Escape Room Challenge

Image
This wee adventure to Escape Rooms Scotland was a more cerebral than physical activity. Split into groups across two rooms, we had to s olve puzzles, clues and riddles  in order to f ind the key and escape. All in 60 minutes! Group 1 was in  C.A.R.A ,  a game  set in a lab  about  the world’s most intelligent artificial life, who  we had to save  from from those  who  consider ed  her a threat.   Sorry world, but  CARA is gone as we, unfortunately, failed to save her from destruction in time! Group 2 was aboard the Black Pearl, trapped  below  the  deck  of a simulated pirate ship.  Unfortunately, the group failed to  find the heart of Davy Jones in time, were captured and  thrown  (metaphorically)  overboard. As you can tell from our failures, we found the games quite challenging as no one had any previous experience. The games masters were quite helpful in giving much needed clues.  Now we know what to expect, hopefully next time we’ll be better placed to make our escapes in
