    • Escape room
    • IRL
    Positives: - A few unique puzzles - Some small theming elements were fun Negatives: - Puzzle logic is often a stretch - General room theming is weak (one room, visible wires/speakers, extensive use of red herring Fallout branded materials/merch) - Majority of tech-based puzzles were unresponsive/slow (lost significant time due to unresponsiveness) - Multiple puzzles were fully broken (needed gamemaster to come in and fix/replace) - Room was reset incorrectly affecting multiple puzzles - Gamemaster's hints were just telling us the answer directly (multiple times) The puzzles in this room have promise, but unfortunately the room itself is in a state of neglect, and it's clear no attempt has been made to repair pivotal game pieces for a long time. Gamemaster seemed to expect that multiple puzzles were broken, and had just accepted that? At the end of the game, the gamemaster heavily implied that she thought it was our first ever escape room, and that it's "difficult for many people". We certainly don't escape every time, but her comments felt like a diss, even though we escaped. It felt as though she was not taking kindly to us buzzing her in to replace broken game pieces, and took personal offence to this. Both the room itself and the awkward gamemaster interactions/bad hinting led this to be the worst escape room I've ever done.
