lathanyLast Monday I joined colleagues from work at HintHunt near Euston station for an hour long escape room. They have two rooms and the premise of my one was: "A crime scene investigation where a private detective (JM) has found a dead body in his office and he has been wrongly accused of murder. The police have sealed off the office and you have managed to gain access to the crime scene. You only have one hour to find the evidence and clues to wind up with case, prove JM’s innocence and find your way out of the locked room!"
I thought that the game was an excellent way to spend an hour. We did manage to escape with 1 minute and 37 seconds to go, although we needed hints galore (although, apparently, so does everyone else). Thoroughly recommended and, one day, I'll try the other room.
It being half-term, I took a couple of days off - Wednesday and Friday. On Wednesday I mainly used it to relax and enjoy not having to commute or work. On Friday I took the family off to Kew for the day.
We saw this year's Orchid display which, despite this photo not showing people, was very crowded.
The weather was lovely and sunny and the gardens looked beautiful.
We also saw some peacocks on our travels.
On Friday evening, we did pancakes (bateleur was out on Tuesday evening). Savoury ones with bolognese sauce and then sweet ones. My favourite was my last which I did with chocolate-and-caramel spread, a touch of maple syrup and some brandy.
Also on Friday, I started playing Goetia, a ghost game that I finished today.
It's an interesting puzzle game, although with a somewhat gloomy atmosphere. If and when my GameFAQs review is published, I'll link to that from here.
