13 escape rooms
The room gives all the icky feelings you would expect from this theme. While there are some interesting visual and puzzle elements, they are somewhat overshadowed by the volume of drawers locked with a padlock. This would be less of an issue if the gameplay was less linear. As it is, one comes across information that is evidently a solution, and just pops it into the next padlock on too many occasions to reach the highest rating. The puzzles that are non-padlock related are relatively simple. Much of the difficulty comes simply from being unable to see due to themed lighting, but using phone torch is apparently allowed, so somewhat defeating the purpose. Storyline sort of works, but some of the solutions seemed a bit arbitary. Overall a fun room that I world recommend doing with a small group, not with kids
