It's time to be a kid again! You have managed to get into our retro arcade an hour before it opens. Can you find the candy before the manager arrives? If you solve all of the puzzles and find the candy, you get to keep it!

Fun room. Again, very non-linear which impacted gameplay towards the end. Room has lots of lights and sounds - could be hard for some with sensitivities. Arcade games and puzzles. A good mix of tech and manual/code/key locks.

Flow was good except order suddenly mattered toward the end. It was not a big thing but also not obvious .

Hi SnaxyLady, So glad you found Candy Caper to be a fun experience. We were so happy to host your game at Cipher Solver Escape Games. We appreciate your feedback about the lights and sounds and want you to know that we do have the availability to turn down or off the sound and we can make the lights be just one color without flashing. Here at Cipher Solver, we are trying to make sure all people are able to play our games with us. Thanks for your feedback!

Likes the variety of puzzles. Not over helpful game master. One game was broken. And one puzzle broke right before we got there. But rest was good. Loved the video game feel.

Gameplay

Liked the video game play. They didn’t flow 100% together but we figured it out.

Thank you so much for your review of Candy Caper. We are thrilled that you enjoyed our game. I am sorry to hear that the gamemaster you had was not very helpful. We have done some additional training since you were here and I am hoping you will give us another chance to show you what we have learned. We have also taken care of the broken game that was in the space when we gave the room a facelift. Hope you will join us again at Cipher Solver Escape Games.

Fun room with good arcade theming. We played on the hardest setting (28% success rate) and ended up with 2 or 3 puzzles left. We either missed a clue, or there was no clue, about how to solve the puzzle that unlocked those final few puzzles and they delay that caused trying solutions and getting hints was frustrating. Overall a fun room and recommended .. if you want a real challenge do the hardest setting, if you want success, opt for one of the easier settings. The owner describes the settings very clearly.

Thank you for your review. I am so glad to hear that you enjoyed Candy Caper. I will say that the hardest setting is just that...hard! We encourage smaller groups or newer groups to opt for one of the easier settings. It is fun to be able to accommodate a variety of groups in Candy Caper. Hope to see you soon back at Cipher Solver to play another game with us.
