Jailhouse

This room was a fun but not incredibly challenging room. Some elements were pretty worn and not entirely functioning. 8 people was probably too many - better for 2-6.

Room was pretty impressively immersive, puzzles were pretty unique, and it was as challenging as promised. However, the GM did have to come in to fix a prop that didn’t deploy correctly (and based on how quickly he entered the room, this prop NEVER deploys correctly). It also was not clear we actually escaped when we did because the final puzzle unlocked something almost completely imperceptible and there was no further fanfare until the GM came in to announce our success and tell us what we did. Additionally, you apparently have to STRESS that you don’t want nudges because despite saying as much, our GM abandoned all pretense and sent us unprompted clues. He started with asking first (“clue?”) and then just sent them to us outright (“free clue: you use that item in this other area.”) I have no idea if our group would have made it out on our own, as we asked, and that really frustrated me. Otherwise I did have fun and I will be back.

Gamemaster had to come in twice: once because a magnet didn’t work on a box, and another with a stick to get something from the ceiling. This was the fourth room we did with this company today, and this was the fourth room the gamemaster had to come in because stuff was broken.

This is the best room at this location! The atmosphere isn’t the best but the puzzles more than make up for it
