Overall Thoughts
Armageddon is now my second room at The Escape Key in Newcastle and as always the staff were incredibly friendly, enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Plus the set design is evidently phenomenal throughout the rooms, having spoken to the owner about the room on a previous podcast episode it was incredibly interesting to look at the room and appreciating the amount of work that had gone into it. The game itself is a multi room escape and all of the space is used incredibly well.
The puzzles throughout the room flowed pretty well although at points we were a little stumped as to what to do next, once we got back on track the puzzles linked well and fit both the story and theme perfectly.
Some unique puzzles in this room that utilise technology from the time period the room is themed on, with a heavy focus on technology puzzles. Although most of the puzzles were incredible enjoyable there were a fair few maths puzzles that really slowed down the progression of the game.
Overall an absolutely stunning room that gives me further reason to go back and play the rest!
