Spymaker Escape Rooms

The room itself was beautiful, the first room was extremely difficult to see which made solving the first handful of puzzles nearly impossible. Going into the second room was rough, for example there is a magnet based key puzzle where the magnet isn’t strong enough to even hold the key, causing enough frustration to kill a man. Our gm then gave us a “clue” that blamed our communication skills, when we were fine with communicating. Our problem was the magnet couldn’t hold the damn key. Leading off of that we eventually get to a pipette puzzle, which requires you to be exact with your measurements, which in itself is totally cool; except that our pipette was broken and it wouldn’t even pick up the liquid.  You very well might be thinking “Why didn’t you ask your gm?” WE DID. MULTIPLE TIMES. both during the game and after. When saying it to her face she shrugged and said “Well too late now.”
Now my husband and I are usually extremely understanding with escape rooms since we are both employed at one and understand both sides of the discussion; but for both of us to be visibly frustrated with the situation we found ourselves in just for the gm to show us a part we missed (WHICH WAS AN UNNECESSARY PIECE MIND YOU, this vile needed to be empty, but apparently we still had to find it) and she then made a joke about “yeah everyone misses that. but you have 5 eggs so obviously you need 5.” 
As we left the room, we were urgently wanting to leave just due to frustrations and our gm then STOPPED us to promote buying 20 more minutes, when we declined she proceeded to promote games, other locations, and other things that had no relation to our room whatsoever.
