The Lost Expedition

If you bring kids make sure to have one adult with each kid We finished our room with “time” to spare, but I felt a lot of insecurity about if we were going down the right paths of figuring out.. like we wasted a lot of time trying to do a puzzle and it was on the wrong …. …. and that didn’t need to happen, also, low light. I liked it in general though, despite the low light. We all had fun and there were many innovative aspects. I loved the neighbor more. Seemed like the puzzles were not quite clear I guess, in some cases The lobby has a puzzle!

A good room for teamwork. We liked this room a lot but preferred The Neighbor at Steal and Escape a bit more. An innovative way to control the time countdown.

This was a fun room with great props. The "timer" was unusual - a fuel tank where your time for escape is based on how much fuel you consume / are left with. We had 20% tank upon completion. This was my 60th room (54W-6L) that I played with three other adults with similar statistics. It is a role-based game, but you can swap and share roles so don't be too worried about which role you are assigned.

Fun and interesting game, though I do feel like it was probably more impressive in its earlier days. We escaped somewhere around 40 minutes. Perhaps a smaller group than our 8 would’ve been more appropriate.

This room is outstanding. I’ve done at least 50 rooms in the U.S. alone and was impressed with every aspect. I’m surprised at some (scant) reviews that it was “old school” or not impressive. There were only 2 of us but it is designed for 4 or 8. I can see how it would be overwhelming for novice or intermediate players… The first employee we spoke with when we were waiting basically said NO WAY are you getting out and it was stupid to book for 2 (she was nice about it). It is non-linear with a variety of puzzle types. The story is cool as was interaction with game master. The “timer” is also unique and something I’ve never seen. In short… Do this room. If there are 2 of you and you are experienced, you can do it. We live in Oceanside and drove 45 mins to play it. Excited to do the Neighbor game next.

I like how this is not your typical lock-and-key place. Theming was very well done and I haven’t come across another room like that. Puzzles were challenging but not impossible or frustrating. Definitely a must-do!

This was kind of old school and not one of my favorites.

This was a very fun room. We did this with 2 people even though they recommend 4+. Everything flowed well even when we were split apart. The GM was helpful but didn’t steer too much and the game was immersive and fun.

Not all the roles are too useful with more players.
