  Yeap, and they're spreading fast. Lisbon alone has about a dozen now.

    And while this is getting more and more OT from the original article... if you enjoy puzzles, it's definitely worth it to go and try it. Me, my partner, and two friends (also a couple) had a really great time doing one. There was a 1hr time limit, and we solved it with about 2 minutes to spare. I suspect that how much fun it is is going to be pretty specific to how well the room is put together; ours was great. The puzzles were tuned so that the difficulty progressed nicely; a couple quick wins, and then they got harder. It was a mix of searching (find the hidden key) and thinking (from these clues, figure out the combination for this lock). This results in a great mix of individual effort and collaborative problem solving. Anyway, I'm rambling. Great fun with the right group of people and well-done puzzles.

  I wonder if the same Jigsaw doll shows up in the beginning to explain the rules of the game. Just kidding...
