Something for everyone! Fortunately the thing that stumped us the most was something that wasn’t really needed and seemed to be included as just part of the immersion (or so we thought). That was very much the case for The Happy Institute too, the puzzles in the waiting area were the type of things you’d expect to find there, and then the same can be said for puzzles found in the other area.Īs expected when being ‘tested’, there was a good range of puzzles observation, spatial awareness, searching (minor), teamwork, wordplay and maybe a minor bit of logic. The best thing about an escape room that takes place in a ‘testing facility’, is that pretty much any puzzle feels like it belongs. He was an ever-present entity, on hand to subtly provide help if needed, but also to add an extra bit of creepiness/pressure to the room. Other than the solid set design, what really added to this experience was the interaction with Dr Hawker. It’s a good way to get your steps up for the day! The game had a good sense of exploration, as we started in reception and then found ourselves exploring the whole ‘institute’ and constantly going backwards-and-forwards between all the spaces. This game does take place all on one level but there are occasions where you will need to crawl for short periods of time – I’m not sure if there is a work-around for this, but I’m sure if you asked they would accommodate you. IMMERSION/ROOM DESIGNįirst impressions of The Happy Institute were good, the waiting area that we entered felt like any other generic doctor’s waiting room, including the odd ambient waiting room music – only this one had lockers that we could use to dump our personal items in.
Ipanic escape room review full#
In no time at all Reece Dr Hawker arrived, in full character and escorted through to the waiting room for The Happy Institute. After a quick chat, a toilet and refreshment break, Reece disappeared to notify Dr Hawker that we had arrived for our testing. Reece was upbeat and happy, much like all the GMs we have encountered in our various visits to The Panic Room. When we arrived at The Panic Room we were greeted by our host, and GM for the game, Reece. As it turns out, we had nothing to worry about. We were told that The Happy Institute was hard for a team of two, so we avoided it when we were less experienced, but now with over 300 games under our belt we thought it was time to finally try it. However, our first game on our little Kent escape room break was one that was open last time we were there, we just didn’t do it. It had been over three years since we were last at The Panic Room in Gravesend, and in that time they had opened a few more games. This experience is sure to chill you to the bone! With challenging puzzles and a live actor, this experience will make you unable to look at hospitals the same way again! you’re guaranteed to come out with a smile on your face whether you like it or not! You have been invited to test the drug in its most recent strain, to help suppress those pesky negative emotions. Wouldn’t it be nice if everyone were happy? Here at the Happy Institute, testing is going swimmingly with our newest cognitive supplement Risus. Welcome to The Happy Institute! Are you ready to face the darkness inside and make the change to happiness? It’s only a pill away… What’s the worst that could happen?
