Steampunk Airship

Great set and puzzle design that worked together to feel immersive! Cool unique use of tech too to create new feeling puzzles. The game master stayed in the room with us acting, and was a great conversationalist afterwards about the room design which they had helped developed and was clearly invested in which was great to see.

I'm torn on this room. It looked cool and efforts were made, but the GM was not super engaged. She tried, but also seemed bored. The gameplay did not flow well, and some of the tech effects did not work well. The GM was necessary to help us navigate that and to transition spaces as it wasn't clear any other way. So, the play was ok and some parts were fun.

For a room that has been around at least 6 years now it is holding up against more current competition in the area. Set design was nice and puzzles were very clean overall in terms of flow. Our group of 5 blew through the room and were told we were second fastest ever, which is quite the feat for a room of this age. Everything worked right and made sense, but there wasn't a clear storyline flow to the puzzles. The actor was kind of pointless in the room, they just watched us go after the initial introduction and said a few transition statements here and there. As a previous reviewer noted, one of the puzzles seemed to be broken by the way the actor described it but I actually think it was never meant to be an included puzzle and was just poorly placed decoration.

We found a the puzzle design to be excellent but the actual execution to be frustrating. A large puzzle in the room was non functional and it was a bummer to not be able to engage with such a large set piece. There was also an actor in the room the entire time which is a positive or negative depending on how you view that.

Great immersion!!! We enjoyed having the live actor! The theme was very well executed! We did it with two and made it out. But it was a hustle!!

This room was super fun! Our moderator was Mitchell and he was absolutely amazing - having the moderator in the room in character was a really fun experience. The room itself was pretty easy, none of the puzzles were particularly complex but some took more time to figure out than others. It was definitely helpful having 5 people. Could probably be done with one less but not sure I’d recommend going with more especially if folks are well experienced with escape rooms.

Game master was in the room with the players. She did a good job not to interfere with the game and not giving out uninvited clues. Puzzles are on the easier side for experienced players.

I don't love having the actors in the room with us and in this room we had 2. One of them seemed like she was having a bad day and was really grouchy and barking at us. Turns out that is part of the character she was playing. Some of my teammates were getting pretty frustrated by her attitude so even though it was part of the game, that wasn't 100% clear until the end. I also didn't care for the theme. I was there for a birthday party so it wasn't my choice. The run decor or puzzles were good though.

I didn’t love this room but didn’t hate it. The puzzles were mainly satisfying, but it didn’t feel like there was any objective to any of them - it didn’t fit with the story at all. The energy of this room was pretty meh.

Excellent use of actors, good sets, and plenty of puzzling. I think this game could handle a fairly large team of enthusiasts, maybe 6 or 7. Even the “You lose” ending was enjoyable.
