REA Reaction
There's an old urban legend about a passenger train in Italy that entered a tunnel on it's way to Milan, and simply vanished - along with everyone on board. To this day, no one knows what happened to the train or its 104 passengers. The Disappearance of the Zanetti Train immersed us in this mystery by sending us back in time to investigate, putting a refreshing spin on a familiar escape room theme.
Entering the space, it was hard to ignore the life-size train car, partially visible in the shadows of the tunnel. Realistic set pieces and interesting design touches fit the time period and were used for some pretty creative puzzles. One puzzle in particular used a number of props for some silly fun. Others were challenging in unexpected ways; one early puzzle appeared straightforward and simple yet made us get fairly creative to solve it. The teamwork tasks were especially enjoyable. Audio and special effects enhanced immersion and provided impressive wow moments, putting us at the center of the narrative all the way to the exciting conclusion.
We may never know the real story of the Zanetti train, but we certainly enjoyed discovering Secrets Hunters' interpretation of events, real or imagined. If you are in Paris, stop by and take a ride on the Zanetti train, wherever it may lead.
