The story for this room is cute, and there were two puzzles that I rather enjoyed, but that's about where it ends for me with this room. Most of the puzzles provided you with information that works with a specific type of lock, but there are so many of them in the room that we had no idea which one to start with. There was another puzzle that required two steps to complete, but the clues that supposedly connected those steps felt really obscure and we had to get a hint in order to make the connection make sense. There also came a point where the next puzzle was locked behind two locks, one requiring a word and the other a key. The key was provided as soon as you got the clue you needed for the word, so the only reason the key existed was to keep you from being able to brute force the lock and skip like 75% of the room. It made the room feel like it was very poorly planned out. We also had 2 issues with some of the puzzles not working right, and that caused us to waste a lot of time. First, we'd done something to open a door, but there was no indication of any kind that we'd actually unlocked something (no audio queue, nothing opening suddenly). Eventually the GM gave us a "free hint" and told us to check the door so we could progress. The second one involved a puzzle requiring a prop we'd acquired. We all knew where the prop had to go, but nothing was happening. We tried placing it in different orientations, and eventually tried other locations, but nothing was working. Then I just happened to try that original first location again, and it suddenly worked. No idea what changed, but at least we were back on track. TL;DR - Staff was nice, story was unique, room was not good. We had fun, but that was just us.

My wife and I did every room that was available at this location. We had an awesome discussion with one of the staff members about this room and we were really excited to do this room an learn about Adam. I understand what this room represents to people who knew him, I know that his family comes and visits from time to time, and a portion of the funds they make from this room are donated to a good cause. All that being said, this was a very disappointing room. I don't think it flows very well at all, and several of the puzzles were quite frustrating. When we finally solved the last puzzle and the door opened, I literally said, "that was it?" to my wife. There are some genuinely good puzzles in this room, and I love the idea behind it, but I would recommend literally any other room over this one.

Did this with my family and in-laws over the holidays. My wife was the only other person with escape room experience, but we all had a great time. The room is very big and can accommodate a lot of people. We did the room as a single team since we had so many newbies, but it was still a great experience, and I imagine it'd be a ton of fun to do as a competition as well. Definitely a lot of fun, and there were enough puzzles and locks that we were all working on different things simultaneously. Definitely worth checking this room out!
