We did the Castiglione room. It was beautifully appointed and had a great variety of clues. The props and fixtures were well thought out and seemed good quality.

We had a blast. The lady who was working there was really lovely and helpful.

The only little suggestion I have is that a torch be provided. The rooms are dark or atmospherically lit and it's great, but a torch would make it much easier for those who need reading glasses (which is pretty much anybody over 40 as well as those younger people who have poor eyesight) It would allow easier reading of documents with clues, and to see the numbers on the padlocks.

Description:

Ever since the famed Yuan Ming Yuan tragedy that took place in the 1860s, the 12 statues of the zodiac heads mysteriously vanished from the Imperial Summer Palace. You were informed that the statues were hidden in the hometown where Castiglione, the designer of the statues, resided.

There are rumors that Castiglione’s hidden castle is decorated with numerous treasures. Despite seeking the valuable zodiac statues, you must keep calm and utilize the other treasures in order to complete your final objective.

However, the bridge connecting to Castiglione’s castle is due to close within 60 minutes. Hence you only have 60 minutes to seek out the 12 zodiac statues and escape.

Reviews of escape game "Castiglione"

Fun room (Castiglione) and perfect for a first timer (my partner). We came on Saturday. The waiting room with the pool games was great!

I've done six rooms now and would suggest making the intercom more accessible - it was difficult to have to go back through the tunnel and crawl if we needed to ask a question or check how much time was remaining. Walkie talkies would work better.

Also, the host was lovely, but she wasn't watching us while we did the room (something I've not experienced in any of my previous rooms) - so if I headed back to room 1 to ask for a clue, I had to first explain/confirm which part we were up to before getting a hint (also, her accent was quite thick and it was sometimes difficult to understand what she was saying).

Overall a very good room and we would return to do another

We tried out the Castiglione room for an escape room date. This room proved to be a little on the tough side for total novices like us. We got off to a flying start in the first room but relied heavily on hints from helpful staff after that. We both had a total blast, lots of cool gadgets and effects. We slowly “escaped” in the end but only because no one booked the room after, so they kindly let us have some extra time for the last puzzle. Definitely want to do more of these in future.
