Back for more secret agent adventures at clueQuest with the lovepopupslondon team. This time, I got the chance to take on the “Revenge of the Sheep” room. clueQuest states this is their hardest room. Having only completed Plan52 here I was a little bit worried, but my team mates had more experience.
On our arrival our host was Jamie, and even at 7pm in the evening after probably giving the entrance speech multiple times, he still gave an enthusiastic intro.
“Professor BlackSheep is back again to destroy mankind as we know it by turning us all into sheep! And this time he is not alone – he’s got an evil side-kick and together they have built a dangerous device: the SheepMutator.”
Our mission – 60 minutes to stop everyone from turning into sheep, baaa!
The first room starts off small, but you soon realise that there’s more to come (so much more!). I found the rooms really engaging and containing some hi-tech elements using augmented reality that really immerse you in the room.
The puzzles are not completely linear, meaning that different members could work on different things, or switch around if stuck. Hints are given on the video screen or through the walkie-talkies, which was useful when we were a little stuck. Skills in observation, listening and just good poking around are all required here. On the time it was extremely close, and we baaarely saved everyone from becoming literal sheep (we had a generous host!).
clueQuest is one of the more souvenir stocked places (photos, fridge magnets and even mugs). We got a lovely photo and fridge magnet to take home.
This is definitely one of the top escape rooms in London. I would say if you are a beginner to escape games, it may be best to work your way up with the other rooms (PLAN:52 and Operation Blacksheep) as I did find this a toughie.
Thanks to lovepopupslondon and clueQuest!
