The Great Houdini Escape Room from Palace Games was the first escape room I had ever done from this company. One of their older rooms, but definitely one of the best during it’s time! This room can be very challenging for beginners so the suggestion is to attempt it after having some experience with other escape rooms! Although older, the vibe and ambiance is very apparent as you enter the room. Tested by the Master Escape Artist Houdini himself, it is up to your logic and wits to come out on top.
Mysterious puzzles are scattered throughout the room, so everybody will be very busy. The puzzle density is perfect for large groups and the variety has charm that influences the theme of the room. The strongpoint of this escape room is the quality of puzzles you will encounter, and given the difficulty it will be rewarding once solved.
I highly recommend giving this room a go if you are looking for a unique theme with strong puzzle variety and difficulty.
For Palace Games, I’d recommend playing in order of release.
