Blind Tiger Speakeasy

This room is an explosion of puzzles. In an industry that seems to be moving towards more linear and directed experiences, this really was refreshing. It required us to really focus on the physical organization of all of the materials we had which I haven’t had to do in ages. Is the room older school and could do with a bit of a refresh? Sure. But that seems to be classic Captive. So I loved it, but can see why it might not be others’ cup of tea (especially beginners, the amount of “stuff” might be too much) My only big suggestion would be some sort of better end mechanic. We were pretty sure we were finished so we talked for a minute and then called the hint button to check. Very anticlimactic that could easily be solved by a table or duffle bag that says what your end state is and to escape once you do so. (Or doing what ReadySetGo does and having it be a very clear point system so you’re just trying for a max score)

I enjoyed this room. Great theme. Non linear. Lots of different puzzles to do

Very simplistic, felt like an older room and only one room.

This is probably my least favorite room so far due to the lack of a narrative or storyline and no “payload” at the end. The room is entirely dozens of non-linear lockboxes, some of which have some logic jumps. The space gets quite messy quick with the amount of containers and items. Got repetitive and monotonous very quickly. Did not feel engaging at all so I would not recommend! The clue mechanism just has someone coming into the room to explain or give a nudge. That said the staff are nice and helpful. They were kind enough to let us stay longer to finish out the puzzles (but half of us were checked out by then).

Fantastic room! Lots of puzzles - although sometimes the direction was unclear with what clues go to what locks. But the puzzles definitely kept us busy, and there were so many different puzzles! Staff was also super nice (we accidentally broke something and they weren’t upset with us - oops sorry!)
