As a big fan of the science fiction mystery series Stranger Things, this room was of course a must! Back to the 80’s is the motto that is captured quite well in this scenario. I am old enough to know some of the props from my youth. The room scores with its authentic decoration and some tricky and creative puzzles. 

Unfortunately the remote version of this game has one big flaw. Stranger Room can be booked for up to ten players, but the insufficient bandwidth at the provider only allows a maximum of three connections. Even with three, and if the own cameras remain switched off, the picture was often blurred and out of focus. That’s a pity, because the gaming experience could be so much better with a high-performance internet connection. 

We actually wanted to play as a team of five, as we always do, (spread over five locations), but due to this limitation (which was not originally in the English version of the website) we had to split into two groups, and therefore unfortunately had to pay double the price. This game is also available in France (Locks Game’Heure, Savigny-sur-Orge).
