This is an escape room unlike any I’ve done. Our team loved it, and multiple times while playing we would say out loud “this is SO fun.” It’s truly impressive what they’ve done here. The mix of investigation and escape room puzzles is so satisfying. The world feels fully fleshed out, the story is so funny, and the actual puzzles and investigation is FUN! I cannot recommend this room enough. We chatted with one of the owners afterwards about the room because we were so impressed. Great use of game design, set decoration was fully lived in, and super funny. Some mechanics i’ve never seen before in an escape room.

The immersion for this one was great, and I loved the theme. You don’t often see a Mayan themed pyramid room so that was really cool. Like all the other rooms at this location, the items in the room and the props felt really real and substantial. I was a little bit frustrated that there was no way to keep track of how much time was passing. And the GM was in the room with us, but did not let us know how much time was going by. We finished a puzzle and a door opened, but it turned out that that door was opening from another puzzle that we finished before that, just really late. So we thought that the puzzle we did was correct, but it turned out it was incorrect and we didn’t know that so we got really stuck later, which I think caused us to not finish the room. This is the one room that we have not escaped as a team. It’s probably just that it’s an old room and some of the puzzles are a little bit janky. That being said, I would still really recommend this room anyways which I think goes to show how fun the rest of it was.

The immersion in this one was great, and the location itself is really cool! Overall, we really enjoyed this one, but there were one or two puzzles that were a little bit frustrating, and for one of them the GM had to come in and adjust it because it was broken. I really liked the theme of this room and there is a fun surprise. But the flow of the puzzles wasn’t super intuitive, and we had to get a lot of hints just to figure out what to do next. I would say this is worth doing though.

Wow! We loved this one! A great challenge, lots to do for our group of three. The set decoration was so good, very tactile satisfying puzzles. Fantastic puzzle chains! Our GM Sam was amazing too! We came back here after doing Black Dragon, which is one of our top favorite rooms. The Atlantis room is so cool, and the ambience is top notch. We are pretty experienced and if you’re pretty new to escape rooms, I’d say think about having more people as there is a LOT to do. We can’t wait to come back for the rest of their rooms!
