📖 THE STORY

Both the "Duel: Logic" and "Duel: Creativity" quests are designed to be played by competing teams, to see who will be faster in completing the same number of (different) puzzles. Which side of the brain will be faster?

Teams can also play them in an uncompetitive mode, as we did.

🎯 HIT THE BULLSEYE

• Although the rooms do not have any particular story driving them forward, they are at least theoretically designed and decorated. We especially liked the way the Creative room was put together; my wife would have loved the bright wallpaper in our house! The Creative room is colorful and whimsical, while the Logic room is quite plain and industrial by contrast.

• To keep the competition intense, each room features a giant brain that displays not only your progress but also that of your opponents. This thoughtful touch maintains high tension throughout, especially if teams are completing tasks at a similar pace.

• Each room offers an impressive set of puzzles that test you in different ways. The Logic room focuses on mathematical and logic-based tasks that challenge your deduction and observation skills. Meanwhile, the Creative room has you competing in dexterity and smell tasks, among other artistic challenges.

• The race element adds a unique twist compared to most escape rooms. What truly sets this experience apart is that the two rooms are entirely different, unlike the usual identical Duel rooms. This twist actually inspires you to want to play both rooms back-to-back to see which team can complete them the fastest.
  

🧩 MISSED THE MARK

• There wasn’t anything particularly wrong with any of the rooms, they are both solid escape experiences.
  

🏹 TAKE A SHOT?

While you could argue that these are more puzzle rooms than traditional escape rooms, they still offer exciting experiences filled with creative puzzles that drive competition. Even though we didn't play in a competitive mode, we thoroughly enjoyed the gameplay and can recommend these rooms to teams of all experience levels. Whether you're a novice or a seasoned escape room enthusiast, you'll find plenty to appreciate in these thoughtfully designed challenges.

ℹ️ ADDITIONAL INFO
