Review of cQ ORIGENES - 1 month 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 team and well thought out escape room. Had a great time. The facilities are really good and accessible. We were a team of 4, managed to get out with 3 minutes to spare.
We did CQ Origenes - Wonderful experience, good props, very interesting plot and clever riddles, we had a lot of fun! Thank you to our agent Georgy we had a great time, very recommended!!
We absolutely love Cluequest, they're our favourite escape rooms! They are so inventive and the incredible room designs are totally immersive. We'll definitely be back for more!
Great fun!! We did the ORIGENES room. Challenging but enjoyable. Great atmosphere and fab staff. Would highly recommend!
First time experiencing an escape room what made it really special was our group and of course our secret weapon in the. Down of our hosts Joyce and Kirsten who were brilliant thank you for helping us... more
