Review of cQ ORIGENES - 3 months ago
You can see why this one has been around for a while (and racked up awards) - it strikes a nice balance between challenging and satisfying. This was perfectly suited for a team of 2 enthusiasts; 6 would be utter madness. I wouldn't go more than 3 (MAYBE 4 if your group isn't confident with puzzles).
Wonderful theme and set, lovely GM'ing by Sadie, and excellent puzzle design!
My only critique is occasionally you hit a wall of "which path is next in sequence", but that's less to do with "these components could be a code for multiple things" and more about seeing "what do we have complete information for and what are we missing", which is part of the fun! Things are signposted appropriately once you know where they belong.
As a bonus, the rooms were very well air-conditioned even though we did this during a heatwave!

Great escape room experience!
One of the best escape rooms we've done yet! More than your standard code/padlock approach. Real puzzles which really got us thinking. Lots of fun.
Best escape room out there!
We were a team of 3, and played the cQ ORIGENES room. We had so much fun. Our agent was Owula and he was great and helped us when we were stuck! The room itself was amazing, and very immersive. Thank... more
