Nocturnal Keep [prev. Secret of Dragon’s Spire]

Fun room with a medieval and wizard type theme. We did it with 2 people though the minimum online is 4. They charged us more per person but less than it would cost for 4 people. Though realistically the room isn't physically much larger or more puzzles than other rooms and it wasn't being booked anyways and required the same staffing as other rooms so the extra fee shouldn't be needed. The game itself is a lot of fun with some interesting and different puzzles. Some obvious clues and some very vague ones. Some are just hard to see due to the lighting and novelty lanterns given. There were a couple slow reactions to solving puzzles; either due to a slow main computer for the game (which was definitely the case with the wizard video animation) or just the GMs not actively monitoring the game for things they manually trigger. We used a couple hints foolishly, both for things we already knew the answer to. And the vague hints just forced us to focus and try again (or in the case of one lock shine a better light on it to see what was really needed). Overall finishing in under 60 minutes for a 75 minute game with only two people (on a game they only let you book online with 4 or more) isn't too bad. And we had a lot of fun doing it. We did another of their rooms on the same day and will be back for the third (and hopefully fourth) soon.

Great theming, fun room, some unique tech which makes it super special!

This game was wild. It was so awesome to meet one of the owners/designers after the game, Taylor. He was incredibly passionate and he was happy to show us the inner workings and the “behind the scenes” of the game. Seeing his enthusiasm made it all the better for us! We had a great time working through the puzzles.
