Capone's 21 Club

Rating: 2.5/5 - Not bad, but kinda mediocre, showing some wear Pros: ➕A mix of tech and padlocks, there was actually more sensor tech than I expected. ➕The set was OK, I liked many of the authentic feeling props. ➕Most of the puzzles (with 1 exception) were decent and the solutions made sense. ➕More than 1 room to explore. ➕Room was well lit, no flashlights needed. ➕The GM was helpful when needed. Cons: ➖One 2 part puzzle felt particularly unintuitive even after the GM bypassed it and explained it to us at the end. ➖One puzzle had items that made it impossible to solve if you didn't remember where they were before you removed them. I have no idea why these items weren't just glued in place. ➖Many props were showing wear and tear. ➖Not a fan of seeing modern combo/TSA locks in a historical room, this breaks immersion. ➖Only 4 hints allowed when the standard now at most companies is unlimited hints. I recommend 2-3 enthusiasts. There is no crawling or climbing. My ranking of the rooms I've played here starting with my favorite, assuming you have a good GM, no technical issues, and a properly reset room (which can be a problem here): 1. Missile Crisis 2. Experimental Hughes (a bad GM ruined our experience, but I'm ignoring that for the ranking) 3. Vault Heist 4. The Forgotten (ignoring the tech issues we had) 5. Capone's 21 Club

Room was well decorated and had a very good atmosphere. Lobby was clean and well kept. Puzzles did not have good direction or flow. Not a coherent pattern. Leaves the player standing there staring at nothing guessing what to do next. Clues mildly unclear. Staff were average to ok attitude not very clear or helpful. Flashlights provided in the room did not quite work. Game master was nice to explain the puzzles after the loss. :)
