Overall my group really enjoyed this room. There was something for everyone to help with. Not a unique hint system, just a screen that gave us one piece of advice about a lock that is kid of tricky to use. Lots of puzzles. We had a wide range of skill levels and ages (8-65) and everyone enjoyed it! We solved it with about 20 minutes to spare.

One of our favorites. We had a large group, and every one of us had something to do the entire time! So well thought out!

Probably my least favorite of the 3 we did here, but still worth a go. Horror themed rooms can be an excuse for lazy design, but I didn’t feel that way with this game. Had a good time.

Gameplay

Some really fun creative elements. Plenty to do among the four of us. Some tricky puzzles, but nothing that felt unfair.

Atmosphere

Theme is a little overdone in my opinion, but still well done.

Customer service

These guys are great.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

A couple puzzles I found really cool.

Somewhat

Some crouching, but nothing strenuous.

Accessibility

A little dim, but not bad. Colorblind will have a couple issues. From what I can tell wheelchair accessible. Hearing impaired should be ok.

Easy to find location

Yes

A little hidden in the complex, but nothing you can’t find.

Parking

Easy
