    7 Deadly Sins

    This room felt like a huge downgrade compared to the Scooby Doo one at this location and felt much more like a standard corporate escape room. The atmosphere wasn't noteworthy, and it being dark without any flashlights being provided is an instant negative. We had to constantly use our phone's flashlights, and it was legitimately hard to see stuff. The biggest issue with this room are the puzzles though. While Scooby Doo felt intuitive, this one did not. It's challenge wasn't in figuring out how to obtain codes from the puzzles but how to transform them into the proper inputs for the locks. These often required multiple steps that could easily be interpreted in different ways, leading to us often having the right idea but doing it wrong. This was true of almost every puzzle in this room. I've done around 100 rooms and did not find these puzzles clear at all even when it was explained to me, so I think it's fair to say the puzzle design was poor

    This is a pretty standard escape room. It starts out extremely easy, but thankfully the difficulty does increase as you go through the room. The production design and effects are good and better than average, but a few of the puzzles were finnicky where we did it correctly but nothing happened until we did the solution again. It also has one or two puzzles where we understood how to solve the puzzle but were missing clues on how many things were involved in the combination or exactly how to transform the combination which I personally find frustrating since it is so easy to interpret things differently. This company in particular has this issue with its puzzles across many of the rooms I've done. Overall decent but still has that corporate feel to it.

    I am surprised to see such negative reviews for this room. I thought some of the puzzles were innovative here. I get the frustration from some of the reviews because I didn't enjoy that one specific aspect, but overall found it a solid room

    This was an awesome room, a very unique aesthetic involving arcades that I've never seen before despite how many I've done. Very impressive to see the arcade games repurposed for puzzles, and I loved how unique those all felt. There are a few scavenger hunt portions that we got stuck at, but beyond that, the setting and atmosphere and puzzles were all excellent.

    This escape room runs really smoothly and has a pretty good flow and rhythm to it. I personally am not as huge of a fan of the more cold and industrial setting and look, but the production values are pretty good. At one point, we solved a puzzle too early and it wouldn't trigger until we got further into the room which was frustrating since we thought we did it wrong. Outside of that, it's a pretty good standard escape room with some intuitive puzzles.

    Really awesome theme that was well integrated with all the puzzles and atmosphere. Our GM (Celine) was fantastic as well. I really like this place and have really enjoyed every game I've played so far. If I had one criticism, it's that the puzzles were a bit easy if you were observant, though there are plenty of clues that are well hidden.

    The oldest game at this place, and you can tell based on the number of physical locks. There are some jump scares, and the atmosphere is pretty well built. It's a pretty solid room, though I prefer others in this location.

    There were some very unique puzzles that I've never seen in any other escape room before. The set design isn't as great as the Storyteller's Secret in this same location, but the cool story and strong puzzles are still there

    One of the best escape rooms I've ever done, and definitely the one with the best production quality. Felt like you were on a movie set. Puzzles were good as well, but it's really the set that shines here
