Secret Agent Man

One of the more unique experiences in terms of set dressing and design. A one-room escape room which still has plenty to do is always a plus from me, although there was a pretty big disconnect between the theme of 'secret agent' and the story line the room provided. Despite being a more outdated room by today's standards, Secret Agent Man is still a really solid escape room with plenty of quirks and Easter eggs. Jack is the single best game master I've ever seen, he used the walkie-talkie real good.

A fun set design in an abandoned art museum, all the graffiti and art was a cool aesthetic that I enjoyed. Some good puzzles, some not so good puzzles but overall a decent experience. Where the room really fell flat for us was the story, nothing about this room nor its puzzles screamed: secret, agent, or even man. Rather multilinear but with hidden enough puzzles that we didn’t feel like we were overwhelmed. The lighting is upsettingly dim, as with most Rush rooms, which does not improve the ambience but cause unnecessary frustration.

This one was hard! But we got there in the end. Really fun, a lot in there and had to turn on the brain for a couple of puzzles which is good. Not so easy like some other ‘hard’ rooms we’ve done. The room itself was awesome, very aesthetic and fun

This was definitely a challenging room. Everything was in one room which made it hard to follow the clues for what was next, we therefore had to ask for a couple of clues to help point us in the right direction at times. We also had the issue of multiple clues in a location which we didn't notice so thought we had followed the clues provided but had missed something. The sounds in the room also added to the difficulty as it was quite loud at times and hard to listen for particular clues. The puzzles were fun and we definitely felt like secret agents.

The room decorations were elaborate and we did find it hard to narrow down what was and wasn’t important due to there being so much going on. I feel like this is a common issue as the staff offered us a clue on a starting point. Other than that, the clues flowed well and other than misunderstanding a couple of clues, we got through it all quite smoothly. Especially considering there was only two of us and my partner was quite new to escape rooms

Great room with a lot to solve. Could be done out of sequence so if you get stuck move on and come back.
