What a ton of fun! I love how 'classic' this room felt and flowed, and like the other rooms at PuzzleWorks, the immersion, storyline and surprises were all stellar. I have to compliment this room for the strong theming as well; lots of great little aha moments and rewarding points that make it a delight to play through. I particularly enjoyed how grounded and plausible it felt, like something that could conceivably exist in the real world.

Very clever use of a bunch of different materials. Knowing what you needed to do for the puzzles was simple for the most part, but you had to think to get to the answer. Fun surprise toward the end.

Gameplay

Very nice flow.

Atmosphere

Had a late 80s private eye feel to it and stayed on that theme, pretty great.

Customer service

Welcoming staff, very polite.

Particularly interesting or different

No

Very fun use of props.

Story

You got bits and pieces as you went farther along.

Difficulty

Hard

Lots of puzzles, some of them make you think harder than a standard escape room puzzle.

Game tech

Mechanical

A lot of magnetic release mechanisms, but quite a few standard escape room locks and an actual locker lock.

Ideal number of players

1

Doable with 2, but you better both be fairly experienced.

Scary

Not scary

One minor item near the end got my heart racing.

Accessibility

1 clue has a color cancel component. This is easily skippable. 1 lock is color coded, but this could be overcome with planning ahead. Mobility, one room may be difficult to get a wheelchair in. I don't remember there being audio cues.

Really well-executed room that can scale well for different group sizes. Puzzles were clever, really nothing that would require any prompting. And a really fun twist at the end.

Though the themeing is simple, this was a very, very fun room to experience. The puzzles were clever, and there was an exceptionally awesome moment in the room that you *need* to just see for yourself!

Gameplay

A decent chunk of the puzzles were CRUNCHY. Really got our problem solving skills into high gear with this one.

Atmosphere

Nothing too fancy here. The story takes place in an office (which really, offices in general aren't fun to be in nor are very exciting environments), but it's the *puzzles* that really make this room shine.

Customer service

Love Envy! She is a fantastic GM and very responsive with everything.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

A puzzle involves video tapes!! πŸ“Ό My nostaglic heart fluttered seeing a VCR, hahah.

Story

Story was clever. You are tasked to find out why the office is in such disarray, and is more than meets the eye.

Difficulty

Hard

HARD! Still very doable, but be prepared to really dive deeper into solving them. One of the few rooms we've asked for hints for.

Game tech

Mechanical

One puzzle involves an actual (oldschool!) computer.

We did escape with just the two of us.

Somewhat

Normal amount of movement.

Accessibility

There are some tighter spaces to move through in some spots, but I don't think it'd be a deterrant for anyone with mobility aids.

Easy to find location

Yes

Clearly marked on outside of building, and signage inside the building leading you to Puzzle Works.

Parking

Easy

Plenty of street or lot parking for free around the building.

this was my favorite room at PuzzleWorks. Enjoyed all of the aspects, great flow from puzzle to puzzle and GM Tylan provides the energy, humor and fun before and after to bring it all together and knew exactly when and what clues we needed. Highly recommend.
