Mr.X – 亞洲頂級密室逃脫連鎖品牌

Mr X is another one of those escape games places in HK, but this one is different — I can’t reveal too much in the review or else I’ll spoil it for you, but there’s a lot of technology and cool gadgets involved in all the rooms that makes the experience ten times better. Imagine doors opening on command when you key in the correct code, activating the UV light switch and seeing a world of new clues spelled out for you, and distorting yourself as you go through — yes — a laser maze.
There are seven different missions at Mr X and they all have different themes. Don’t underestimate the challenges; they all require you to be thinking really hard and considering every possibility that’s out there. You’ll need to be cooperating with your friends well and talking about your ideas because they might know something you don’t! What sets Mr X apart from a lot of other similar establishments in HK is the sheer size of the puzzle — I’ve been to many of them, and in most, you’re trapped in that room and that’s it. At Mr X, it’s actually one HUGE area that’s partitioned into smaller rooms, and the clues lead you on to going into the next rooms to eventually ‘escape’.
The team at Mr X is very friendly and if you’re stuck, you can call for help and they’ll give you a hint that’s just enough to point you in the right direction. The games at Mr X definitely aren’t cheap — the last time I checked it’s $ 138 per person, and their newest room, room seven, is a whopping $ 180! I can’t speak for that one as I haven’t tried it, but I’ve done rooms one to six (I did them when they were having a student promotion — $ 100 per person) and they were definitely an experience I recommend! I would give it five stars but sigh, it only it were a little bit less expensive!
