The Cabin Spell Escape

Really enjoyed the room. The puzzles and ideas were very creative and the set design was better than most in the area. Our group of three made it out with just at 5 minutes to spare. So many of the props and puzzles were really clever, but were beginning to show wear. It would be amazing if they just gave this room a light refresh (it is definitely nothing an afternoon and a trip to Home Depot couldn't fix.) Even though it is a spooky atmosphere it's not scary at all. Time's Up's hinting system of a touch screen is good, but sometimes isn't at exactly the same spot as you are in the game. It also could use a bit of a refresh with some new AI voiceovers that would sound more natural and help with the theming. There were a couple of times also where it felt like the game hit a lull where it wasn't intuitive what to do next to move it along. If you are relatively new to escape games and haven't played in a bunch of bigger locations, this is a GREAT room to check off your list. As far as rooms in the Triangle, it is very nice. If compared to top-tier rooms in other locations, it feels a little first generation. The bones are there to be really something special, but it just needs a bit of an update. I hope Time's Up puts some love into this and a couple of there other rooms, because its good to see original plays vs. the chains and off-the-shelf games and I'd love for it to take its great concepts and creativity one step further.
