The Dungeon

This isn’t the most high tech room, but it makes impressive use of a small space, especially the vertical space. There are a lot of mechanical things going on in the room, at times it almost feels like being inside some sort of puzzle box or Rube Goldberg machine. It’s not scary though…more of a prison break + medieval theme mash-up. We had a group of 3 players (2 of whom are seasoned enthusiasts), and I’d recommend 3 or 4. It might be possible to do the room with 2 players, but you’d have to make some compromises in gameplay because it’s has a complex split start. There are a ton of puzzles to tackle, so we kept busy right up until the end, escaping with less than a minute left. I love a good dexterity puzzle, and there is one that is especially memorable. It requires multiple people, is super low-tech, and isn’t quite like anything I’ve seen. 🤌🏻 Come to think of it, much of the room has an enjoyable tactile quality to it. What the room lacks in narrative, it more than makes up for in pure fun. A must-play if you’re up in the Twin Cities.

Do this room! One of the best Ive ever done!

Such a cool design, one of the most unique i’ve played. A big group works better for a number of reasons. Well executed, totally worth it.

Great puzzle design fun team running it. We really enjoyed the team puzzle solving elements

Awesome room; nary a combo lock in sight but lots of puzzles and mechanisms we hadn't seen before. One of the top rooms we've done and a great vibe and aesthetic.

This is definitely a solid room with some fun puzzles and a couple of cool & unusual mechanisms we hadn’t experienced before. But in the end, I can only give it a 👍 and not a ❤️ because they required 4 people for this room, but only one puzzle really needed 4 people, and the rest was insufficient to keep all 4 of us enthusiasts busy and entertained for the full 60 minutes. We got out with 22 minutes to spare, which is not great bang for the buck. I also expected more given the super high rating this room has. We experienced two other rooms in the Twin Cities that were much more interesting/unique than this one, which is more “classic.” I’d still recommend it, but just don’t expect to get anywhere near 60 mins of entertainment if you are 4 enthusiasts.

We had a great time in this room! A few of the puzzles were different than what I’ve seen before or more interesting versions of puzzles I’ve seen before. I appreciated the creativity of a few of them and the story for the room was unique and more interesting than usual. All around it was great, but my only disappointment was that we got out with 22+ minutes left on the clock. I always appreciate when a room is able to add more puzzles or difficulty for groups who are getting through super quickly, so you can spend more time in there and get your money’s worth. But other than that, it was great!

Great mechanical puzzles, a lot of communication beteeen players is needed. Likely best for 4 people. All the puzzles fit well within the theme,

This room was a ton of fun. We did have an instance where the GM didn't provide a clue on demand which ruffled feathers and had us spend a bit too much time segregated. The gameplay was great!
