Other World Escape is a new escape room that has just opened up in Southampton (July 2017).
The owner was very welcoming and made the whole experience at the escape room a pleasurable one. At present there is just one room to play the Mayan Temple with future ones opening soon.
SPOILER ALERT
The room gives you a fully immersive experience with just 60 minutes to crack the codes / puzzles to win. The story is about a mystery within the Mayan temple, the Gods and the Elixir of life which has to be found before the Syndicate finds you. As soon as we stepped through the doors to the room me and my husband were hit immediately by the smell of chocolate as this was one of the items being exported. There are many clues to be read, puzzles to crack, codes to be unlocked and many padlocks to unlock giving this room a vast range of challenges and fun to be had. The diary that is found later in the room helps with solving the codes to unlock some of the padlocks and this is basically your lifeline. In the second and final room there was once again many codes and locks to crack open but this time there were several physical skill set puzzles to be had which made us feel we were in The Crystal Maze. I won't give too much away but they are all so unique and I have never seen anything else like it used in any other escape rooms I have done. Near the end if you are doing well one of your team has to sacrifice themselves to the gods who will you sacrifice to escape the temple and win the game? A very unique escape room with smells, temperature change and so many various challenges to crack. Highly recommend to anyone. read more
