Gameplay was old school but fun. Hint system and game master attention were very much lacking. We were stuck at one point and between really slow response time from GM and having a hard time getting across what we were working on it ended up being very frustrating. There is also one white board in one of the rooms attached to the wall so it couldn’t go to the other rooms, but that didn’t matter since the marker was not functional anyway. We finished the room went back out to the lobby and to the bathroom and it was several minutes before our GM came over from the other side of the facility (so not watching room cameras) and realized we were out of the room. Staff was nice and friendly but very inattentive. This room was otherwise fun, which is why I gave it a middle level review, but the issue with hints really took away from it.

Puzzles were old school but fun, but hint system is very much lacking. Walkie talkies were hard to hear over music in room and staff was slow to answer and did not seem to be monitoring what we had done so getting a hint was a frustrating task of describing where we were unsuccessfully before finally nailing down a hint. A lot of room time was wasted between a mechanical issue near the beginning that required us waiting for several minutes for a solution and trying to get hints at the beginning and end. A more portable white board would also be helpful as there was only one in one room of 4 that was attached to the wall. It’s a shame because the gameplay itself was fun, and the staff was nice enough, but they were doing too many other tasks and not focused on the rooms.
