Room briefing

December 1914. British Intelligence has uncovered critical information hidden within the trenches. With the order to go “over the top” imminent, your team has one hour to move through the tunnels and recover the secrets before they’re lost in the chaos of war.

This mission follows the events of The Disappearing Duchess, but can be played as a standalone operation. The battlefield awaits — and the clock is already ticking.

Brilliant Rooms!

We just did The Duchess Part 2, and the attention to detail in the room design and the unexpected surprises really helped make it a more thrilling experience.
