Great for kids! The puzzles all worked properly and flowed well, and they weren't too difficult for children ages 7-15 to help out and solve themselves. It was definitely one of the biggest escape rooms we've been to, and the theme was interesting enough. I think if you're looking for something extremely novel and tech heavy you might be disappointed though, this was a fantastic intro escape room.

The main thing this game had going for it is that it is large. There are eight rooms, yes, but each room only has two or three puzzles in it, which feels a waste of space. The rooms also felt sparsely decorated, and I thought they could have leant more into the hotel theming in some of the rooms. That being said, it was an enjoyable room that left something to be desired for a 90 minute experience.
Not unique in any way but still enjoyable.
They donβt make good use of the space. It felt very empty.

The flow of this game was super fun. We played with 4 people - 2 of us were escape game enthusiasts and the other 2 had never done an escape room. It was a great balance. The flow was great, each clue leading us to the next seamlessly. However, I found that it got a bit repetitive and was a little too easy for us. Also, the atmosphere could use some work. It felt like I was in a warehouse rather than a hotel. Overall, I would recommend!

A really huge space! Fun theme, almost all number and letter locks. A bit easy/simple for enthusiasts.
It flowed well. Never really got stuck. All letter and number locks.
The set was HUGE but a lot of it was empty space.
They were friendly!!
Depends how much experience you have
