Review of cQ ORIGENES - 5 years ago
Great production value on the cQ Origenes escape room. Fun and cartoony but still compelling and believable. The puzzles were hard but not too hard, there were no leaps of logic or red herrings, which can be frustrating. The host in particular was excellent, building our energy before the room without going overboard, intervening the bare minimum to allow us to beat the room with just 2 min to share, and then afterwards talking us through the experience. That last part is often overlooked but makes a huge difference. In our case there were no elements that we hadn't solved or needed explanations for, but hearing his excitement at the parts that had challenged us, or his enjoyment of the humour in our discussions during the room helped us relive it. Definitely recommend for anyone that enjoys escape rooms. It's a challenge, with a low success rate, but we completed it with two people so it is possible. Only thing I would change is the name of the room itself. It's just awful. From the lower case c to the mashup of origin and genes. Come on, there's got to be a better option.
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.
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
We had such a great time completing the escape room. Staff were very friendly and helped make the experience wonderful. Would definitely recommend as a fun activity. Thank you!
Great room. Full of logical and nice riddles. Nice and helpful host :)
Maybe too many riddles for just 2 people. On the other hand, maybe we were simply too slow ;)
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.
