    I'm super bummed about this one. Given its stellar reputation, I had high hopes for this escape room, but unfortunately, our experience fell short of expectations. While the initial impression was promising with excellent theming and atmospheric design, several operational issues significantly impacted our enjoyment. The most notable concerns stemmed from our GM's approach - they seemed disengaged and offered unprompted and unhelpful solutions. We got hints for puzzles that were already solved, codes for things that were already correct. In one case, we had a proper code for the puzzle and the GM said “The code is abcd”, we were like “we have that?”, then the puzzle was magically solved. We had spent time trying to figure out what to do next when we had in fact, already solved the puzzle. The fact that we were the last booking of the night became painfully apparent as we were hurried out immediately after completion, leaving no time to discuss the experience. The room itself showcases genuine potential with its thoughtful design elements and immersive environment. However, the rushed service, and premature hint system created a disconnect between the room's capabilities and our actual experience. For future visitors, I'd recommend booking an earlier time slot to potentially avoid these end-of-day service variations. While I can see why this room has garnered positive reviews, our particular session fell short.

    This was an amazing room! The puzzles are all really well done and we loved the parallel nature of it, there were enough for all 5 of us to have something to do without anyone missing out. The theming and props were all amazing. You can tell a lot went into this game. One of the best in Portland!
