Review - Victoria's Last Secret - 11th Hour Room Escapes
After the roick and roll excess of their last room Exit Visa, 11th Hours Escape Rooms in Chippenham are just about to open a brand new adventure - Victoria's last Secret. Although not specifically horror themed, the lovely guys from 11th Hour invited us along to test drive the room!
Compared to Exit Visa, this room is much smaller but certainly packs a number of surprises into its unassuming frame. Set in the eaves of the building, the paintwork and antique furniture, create the impression of rummaging around an old dusty attic. An attic that was packed with puzzles and padlocks at every turn.
As usual - the first few minutes of the room were spent just trying to work out what was there and trying to make some semblance of the experience. We were all adamant that we would find grandmas hidden inheritance, and so of course started to turn the room upside down in our quest. The clues and puzzles were pretty tricky in places and being a test run before the public, we did need a few hints along the way. There was one particular red herring that left us scratching our heads for ages. So, it was then a relief to find out we weren't being stupid, when the team afterwards agreed that it was misleading and would remove it!
By the end of the experience we had solved all manner of different clues and puzzles but still had to find the key to get out as well as locate the hidden inheritance. Fortunately for us - we managed it with just 94 seconds spare! These last minute escapes are proving to be our signature move here at ScareTOUR!
But joking aside, we thoroughly enjoyed this room - especially some of the hidden surprises that popped up during play. The puzzles were a great mix of locks, combinations, practical activities and more, and with the engaging story and great sets, Victoria's Last Secret certainly entertained us for the hour. If you like puzzle escapes then you will love this intimate little gem.
