I really loved this room, it was so clever, there were so many fun moments, unique puzzles, the set decoration was phenomenal and the puzzles felt really tactile. My main complaint, keeping me from being able to give it a “love” review, was some really distracting uses of AI. There is a section of the game that is a really fun puzzle, that relies heavily on AI videos. There is SO much thought and care in the rest of the room and that aspect was fairly disappointing. Ben was a fantastic GM and really facilitated a great experience, there were so many great surprises and I recommend this game, especially if the AI videos are replaced with stock footage or human made videos. Was a nice challenge with a ton of things to do!

Hurts me to say because we LOVED Perfumer so much, this room didn’t do it for us. The immersion was great, I loved the set and it felt very adventurous, but the puzzles themselves were frustrating, not in a challenging way, but we ran into a lot of tech issues/having to repeat things we did because it didn’t work/lack of clarity to what you needed to do. There is a specific puzzle in it that felt like it was meant to drive your time up. I will say that the beginning and ending have some really cool stuff, it mostly could have used more fun in the middle. If you’re deciding here between this room and Perfumer, I’d highly recommend Perfumer!

Unforgettable, unique, hilarious, engrossing, I can’t say enough about Election Night! I’m at about 40+ rooms and this is instantly tied with my other favorite room of all time (The Last Supper in Pomona). My first thought when I left was that I could have played the main gameplay mechanic of this room for 4 hours and never gotten bored. Yes, you will be split into two groups and have pretty separate experience from the other group(I was in the Medical Exam group), with a few moments shared between the two rooms. There are certainly puzzles to do throughout, just like normal escape rooms, but the main draw is the investigation game that is unlike any room I have done before, as well as a tremendously fun story that builds to a great climax/satisfying conclusion. I don’t think I have laughed out loud half as much in another room, the jokes were earnestly laugh out loud, the set was stunning, the tech was really impressive and never once did it feel like a piece of tech could fail. There is too much to rave about to put into one review, do yourself a favor and do this room before it inevitably lands itself on Terpeca next year.

I’ve done somewhere between 30-40 rooms, this was instantly my favorite of all time. The setting, rp, story, immerseveness…I can’t think of any room I’ve done that compares. Diego was fantastic as Lord Garrick and played off of us really well. The vibes were spooky and we absolutely loved the every step of the journey, especially the final moments. Truly was a piece of interactive theatre in addition to a room, our team admittedly is all performers in some way, so it really lent itself to our interests and vibe as a group. The vibe was spooky but as a crew we had countless laugh out loud moments. I really enjoyed the puzzles as well and the special effects were tremendous. Cant recommend or praise it enough; it really has so much I’ve never seen in a room before and won’t stop thinking about it for quite a bit.
