More practice needed

I returned with my team, after successful completion of Operation Blacksheep (with a little help from our Cluequest Agent), with an optimistic ambition to beat Plan52 without any tips.

Our optimism started to evaporate fast, as it sank in how different individual escape rooms can be. Our Cluequest Agent, Eden, had our backs as we blundered through the mission, and with much handholding, we beat our 2nd room. With hindsight it was all very obvious but at points my brain felt it had escaped the room before I had.

There was one puzzle that after our debrief, at a local pub, the team concluded would have beaten us all, if not for Eden's help. However the rest of the room we probably would have managed, without help, if we had unlimited time.

I enjoyed the challenge but concede that we only escaped thanks to the wonderful support of Eden. To be fair this was only the 2nd escape room we have participated in, so we acknowledge that we may be veterans in age but rookies at escape rooms.

We did get to enjoy the whole room with thanks to Eden, this was much appreciated, as the story and puzzles were fun and we were glad to have the opportunity to tackle them all.

We now feel that based on the learning from these 2 previous rooms we could take on the slightly harder rated Revenge of the Sheep. We will therefore be returning to strive, again, for success, at our own merits or by blundering through guided by a future Cluequest friend!
