Haunted Escape Room

Space was fun and interesting being in a historic building in Virginia City, but the gameplay was confusing and some of the props/tech needed to be updated. A decent concept that just needs some adjusting.

Room was disjointed and linear but had good theming and some really cool ideas. While linear isn't necessarily a bad thing, most of wasted time came from the puzzles being difficult to parse rather than solve. Was also missing basics like a way to track room time and some puzzles that didn't clearly indicate they had been solved. With a few tweaks this room could be excellent, but as it is, it's a hard recommendation to go out of your way for.

Loved this room! This was an amazing experience. Definitely has the scare factor, and great puzzles. We loved it!

Theme and ambiance: 5/5. Nails the creepy old 19th century building because, well, it's in a creepy old 19th century building. The background audio and creaking wood floors all added to the experience. But... Puzzles: 1/5. This room badly needs a puzzle update. None of the clues or puzzles were very original or interesting, and were really just a mishmash of overused room concepts like blacklights (used a LOT), weird symbols that correspond to letters, and playing card math. Many of the clues were overly ambiguous and required a pretty big mental leap to get there. Some clues were reused, but the ones chosen were random and not at all indicated how we were supposed to put them together. All of the props are worn down, and either currently broken or clearly fixed multiple times. Also, many of the puzzle triggers could trigger multiple times, leading to the same sound and light sequence firing off over and over as we moved things on old puzzles. All that turned what could have been one of my favorite rooms into a frustrating hour where we didn't escape. I suppose it would be good as a first room, but even moderately experienced escapees will likely find the room lacking.

Decent and some unique elements that made it fun but some worn out things and an inattentive game master that were annoying.

Didn't flow well, room was dark and elements were worn down pretty badly making some parts extremely difficult. The room that was here before was WAY better.
