Yet another room from this company that we were really excited for but fell victim to poor flow between the puzzles which made progress feel like it was only done in fits and starts. We liked most of the puzzles but felt that some of them relied on behaviors that either didnt make sense or were solved with no directions to where to go to next to continue progress. We actually didnt even solve something available at the start of the room, but even if we had the clues inside were for last puzzle so we wouldn't have been help anyways. There was a searching portion of the room that was very clever and the final decode gave me a chuckle. There were a few points of the room that could use refinement or revamping as they were either not stable or unneeded. Fun time out but room for improvement
Gameplay
Set, story, and most puzzles were good. Like most other rooms we have done from this company though, we felt the connective tissue was the weakest part. Flow was sporadic and we need more hints than usual to figure out what we were supposed to be moving onto next after solving a puzzle.
Atmosphere
Great set design, convincing speak easy feel with fun features for the separate spaces
Customer service
Gem was nice and personable
Was anything broken?
Yes
There was a puzzle that we were not sure how we opened while playing. After we finished the gm told us the prop had been loosed at some point and now just pops open whenever you just play with it enough if you dont have the answer yet.
