In Short: Diving into local history.
This is a room geared towards cultural tourism, the intro offers a story from the Granada region and places you into it, which is something I’ve been waiting to see in the genre. I’m not convinced the style of threatening video they’ve chosen is the best way to do that – as if you follow it through logically, you’re giving in to blackmail… but the thought is there.
We were hugely impressed with the Escape Park host who provided us with a great English introduction, hints and questions and made us feel welcome.
It’s a suite of rooms, so the decor is quite sparse whilst still having loads of interesting and beautiful things to discover. In fact, search is the major skill you need here, alongside the ability to discard red herrings. That’s not my favourite way to play, but there were enough little treats, and enough variety in the puzzles when we did find them that our team of 2 really enjoyed the room – squeaking through as “complete” but only thanks to a generous stretching of the hour – though we fear if we’d had our search specialist with us, we’d have been out in half the time.
