La Casa De Papel [The Money Heist]

This was a fairly simple and easy room. We wanted to introduce some friends to the concept of escape rooms and it was a good intro to be able to do that. The design was fairly basic but wasn't terrible. The puzzles were all fairly easy and a good room for beginners. There were a couple of items that were broken and the GM wasn't paying super close attention so it was a few minutes before they informed us about work arounds. The facility did start 3 groups in 3 different rooms at the same time with a shared safety and rule briefing, which felt a little impersonal. They seemingly had 2 GMs to monitor 3 rooms which seems like a decent balance. The puzzles were fairly interesting and nothing felt too repetitive, they did have a few combo locks but they did mix up how to get those numbers. While they told us that each item would only be used once that turned out not to be true and one of the first items is used at the end of the game as well. Overall a pretty dated room, but still fun. It is definitely on the easy side but is advertised as their easiest room so that wasn't unexpected. While the room has clues/puzzles in English and French they did not have an English speaking game master available, luckily we did have a native French speaker with our group, but if you only speak English it may be a good idea to call ahead and make sure they have an English speaking GM available during your reservation time
