    Ipanic Escape Room - St. Charles

    The theming and special effects of the room were great, but the gameplay and puzzles left us feeling disappointed. Aside from a few exceptions, the room is basically a collection of locks, without much direction on the order that you are supposed to solve them in. Our experience was also hampered by one puzzle that burned a lot of time due to an unclear clue that felt like a misdirect, and then we managed to skip several puzzles by guessing a code after misinterpreting a different clue. In addition to making us feel like we missed out on a decent chunk of the room, it also seemed to have messed up the finale a bit as a door wasn't open that should have been. The staff was very friendly though and we do want to return.

    What this room lacks in budget makes up for with mostly clever and varied puzzles. We were slowed down by a few red herrings in the final area and one code that we ultimately had to trial/error because we couldn't grok the clues, but overall had an enjoyable time and would recommend it.

    Great looking room with novel puzzles; however several of them are not really integrated into the story and are just there to be puzzles. We enjoyed it overall but this has been our least favorite at this location so far.
