Prey

To be fair, I don't like losing. Normally, when we all got a hint, we at least feel pointed in the right direction and can quickly solve the puzzle -- that was not the case here. The puzzles didn't feel connected to the game or storyline, so it was difficult to apply the necessary logic. The aesthetic of the room felt underbaked and, while I always try to leave room for props feeling a bit "cheap" because this is all imaginary anyway, the quality of decor in this room left me underwhelmed and not immersed.

5.5/10 enjoyment and fluidity. Completed in a team of 2. The simple story/premise was fine, but the room felt very finicky with random Halloween-store props. There were quite a few locks and it wasn't clear which puzzle solutions went to which locks, so trying the combination on different locks made everything feel random and not cohesive to a story. There was a good combination of puzzles and riddles. They really weren't hard though. Pretty easy for kids to do. A lot of the challenge came not from the puzzles themselves but scavenging things in the dark room. If the room was brighter, it might've been easier to find pieces of puzzles that were essential to solving the puzzles. We had to get a few hints because we just missed some props. Also the room and puzzles were very mechanical and old-school. Not high tech at all in the sense that the game master needed to be watching us and listening to us to press something to unlock the next thing. From most to least favorite, I'd rank their rooms as the following, and I wouldn't recommend anything below Prey and Masquerade: Perfect Crime, Exodus, Prey, Masquerade , Nuclear Annihilation, Quarantine

This room was very average. At the time it was an intro for me into spookier escape rooms, and this one was VERY tame. A lot of the puzzles were a little too abstract and didn’t make very much sense, but I don’t think this game deserves its “expert” rating

We were a group of 4 doing this escape. We used 4 clues and needed every last second to get out of this room. This room was full of puzzles and we worked the whole time in groups of 2 solving them. This was a more advanced level of escape in my opinion.

This was not a fun room. Puzzles didn't feel very intuitive and there were some wierd figures within that were meant to give some scary, shock value but really missed the mark. Decor felt cheap we didn't feel immersed. Was like things were trying to be gross for the heck of it. Really couldn't get a rhythm in here and the lighting was not very good to read clues and unlock locks. This is a pass in my opinion.

This room was not immersive in the slightest and the puzzles were too abstract to make sense in context. The decor looked straight out of a Halloween costume shop and immediately took me out of the experience.

clue order was very confusing
