More about Charles Hobbs Experience

Crystal Palace, Londres 1851.

La première exposition universelle est en pleine agitation. L’Américain Charles Hobbs vient de crocheter tour à tour  la Detector Lock de Jeremiah Chubb et la serrure à pompes frontales de Joseph Bramah. Ces 2 serrures mythiques sont vaincues pour la première fois, les Anglais sont humiliés sur leurs terres. Charles Hobbs devient un "super héros " en l’espace de quelques semaines.

A la fermeture de cette exposition il se porte acquéreur du "Aubin's Trophy", chef d'oeuvre mécanique composé de 40 serrures de fabrication Anglaise. Après quelques années passées en Angleterre, Charles Hobbs décide d’embarquer à bord du Great Western pour retourner à New-York. Mais la Reine Victoria entend bien que le Aubin’s Trophy reste en Angleterre. 

Charles Hobbs est parti rechercher des effets personnels à la blanchisserie il sera de retour dans une heure. 

Votre mission consiste à vous emparer du trophée et le ramener à la Reine d’Angleterre, elle compte sur vous.

God save the Queen ! God safe the trophy !

The total score of a review doesn't have to be the average of your subscores. Sometimes a room feels like it should deserve a higher (or lower) rating than the exact sum of its parts.

I've got the key, I've got the secret :-)

#92 Leuke ontdekking in het plaatsje Beauraing: drie zeer originele kamers van enthousiaste onafhankelijke uitbaters die de kamers zelf gebouwd hebben en zich daarbij lieten inspireren door waargebeurde feiten! Wij speelden de Charles Hobbs Experience: je opdracht bestaat erin iets te stelen van de negentiende-eeuwse meesterslotenmaker Hobbs, dus is het geen verbazing dat deze kamer tjokvol met sloten en sleutels zit: in allerlei vormen en maten, want geen enkele sleutel is dezelfde (in Le Retour de Notre Dame zit dan naar verluidt dan weer geen enkel sleuteltje).
Het is een niet-lineaire kamer waarin je veel informatie-elementen door elkaar krijgt, dus een ploeg van vier lijkt ons wel aangeraden. Wij speelden de kamer met zijn tweeën en dat was flink aanpoten! Maak duidelijke afspraken over het hintsysteem (wanneer en hoe), want ik voelde me persoonlijk soms wat gestoord in mijn 'spelflow' (omdat er zoveel te doen is in de kamer).
De kamer kan in het Frans of in het Engels gespeeld worden.
