English only speaker here. Played this game after other reviews mentioned its adaptable for English players. We finished the room with 2 people with zero Korean language skills. Half of the signs and labels in the room were both Korean and English. Some other signs were just in korea but we managed without those signs, being more seasoned of a player. The multi room escape had great set design, though some of the set design is seeing a bunch of wear and tear from over the years. After solving one puzzle, it didnt seem like one of the mechanisms didnt trigger the first time to reveal next prop. Definitely doable with 2, I'd recommend maybe 3-4 at most, before the room feels cramped. Lighting in some areas were a little tough to see. If you are a big Harry Potter fan, then you'll enjoy the esthetics. Was worth doing being that we only paid $32 usd for 2 people! Or game master was limited in English and getting a nudge to redo the placement of something was rather hard to hear over the speaker.

Company is located in a mall on the 3rd floor. There's no waiting area in the lobby, they just ask to come back 5 minutes before the start of our room as they were resetting room. Nice you can browse the busy mall while waiting. You are asked to put all your belongings (including phones) in a locker in front of the room. They ended up holding onto the key so we don't lose it in the room. Room is more of a store-bought props Gen1.5 room. Basic immersion, don't expect a Hollywood production in decorations. If you want full immersive, this ain't it. Attempt at HP inspiration, but in reality its stuff for decorations you would find at the Halloween shop. Puzzles felt somewhat difficult for me as some puzzles were not as obvious that you have to do this or that task. Had to ask for a clue to get us going or to confirm that what we are trying to solve is correct. Everything was in English and does not require you to know another language, though it helped having a Singaporean with an accent to help for one puzzle. Not sure how that would have been accomplished without one in our group. Contact with the GM is through a portable phone. Cost was $33sgd/person or about $25 for 75 minute room. So if you got to kill 75 minutes and want a cheap escape room, this would suffice.

By far one of my All time Favorites. Very immersive from the moment you enter the building from the outside. The live actor "starst the show" the moment you enter into the lobby. They made very good use of their space while not breaking immersion from the lobby to entering the game itself to finishing the end. They interact with you while keeping subtle key notes and details as they ask you simple questions that you normally would be asked by GM to get a feel for what type of player you are. Loved every part of it and cannot wait for their next game.

By far the best way to live this 4 chapter experience. The light continental breakfast/snacks of Danishes, fresh fruit platter, sodas and water was a delightful way to save money with a bulk rate discount. Definitely did not feel rushed and they give you time to set your own pace between rooms. My group was on a tight schedule for the day (as we were doing several companies that day) and going at our own pace with smaller breaks in between made our time more flexible.

Very unique take on a mostly singular room. Do note: Wear shoes you do not mind getting a little wet (~0.5-1" of water). Loved the unique system of having to traverse horizontally in the dark. Make sure you do NOT have to anything loose or in your pockets of anything you do not want to lose or get wet! Helps if you have at least one member in your group that is in relatively reasonable shape with the ability to pull yourself with only upper body strength. Very immersive with tech that as a career technician, they designed the puzzle layout with some sort of reasoning of troubleshooting like in the real world.

Room felt very underwhelming in immersion like some hobbiest setup their home up for a kids birthday party and not a full production room for an escape business. Very cheap feeling with cheap bare room designs. You will feel unimpressed with the overall design. If you are a minecraft fan you'll get the subtle theming attempts. NPC tried his hardest but fell short when it comes to the feel of the room atmosphere. Many Props were broken. The finally puzzle task was very difficult to operate since it was hard to control and broken. GM had to reset the system at least once to get the proper to turn on. Puzzles were very simple and just remedial tasks to complete. For the high price paid for a 90 minute room, I didn't even bother wanting to ask for a refund since I wouldn't want to go back to that place again any ways.
