Our group of four adults completed this 25 minutes early, largely because they were spoonfeeding us answers without us asking for them. This is definitely more ideal for kids. Some of the elements were a little janky; ceiling tiles needing replacement, poor sound system.

Gameplay

Clues given way too easily and we finished 25 minutes early.

Broken speakers, bad sound effects

More Christmas-y than some others we have done. We got hung up on some silly things. A few puzzles required multiple steps combined. Good way to get ready for Santa!!

Didn't necessarily feel as holiday oriented as branded, but more Gamer Kid themed. Nonetheless, we had fun going through this escape. Well setup for a 2 room game.

The game was difficult, expected it to be more Christmas like , I just felt like I was in a kids room looking for a list /: also couldn’t really match the stuff we found to what it was for

Simple room. Cute but not very Xmas like I was expecting. Still fun.

Gameplay

Gameplay was fun. It was simple to follow clues.

Atmosphere

Not very Christmas like we were expecting. Just looked like a boys room. Which is what I guess it was I just wish it had a more Xmas theme to it.

Customer service

Staff is always great

This is definitely a perfect room for families or newbies. It’s a bit too easy for escape room experts, but the theming and story is fun, especially during the holiday season.
