Escape From Planet Obscura

It’s really really really hard to dislike an escape room. However, this was weak from top to bottom. Not only was the theming below average, but the props and staging were actually done haphazardly. Amazingly enough, without this being an issue, there was still the poor puzzles and improper linear staging that felt slapped together. Avoid.

By far in the bottom five experiences I’ve ever had. The room is advertised as a 30 minute experience but the first five minutes of your time is a cheesy intro video. About ten minutes into the game one of the mechanisms wasn’t working and we tried contacting our host to no avail. Had to go out to the counter to be told that our host was also running the VR next door and was getting them set up. They refused to pause our time or give us the extra time we lost having to wait. Out of the 25 minutes 10 of them were spent waiting for them to fix their game. 10/10 would not recommend.

I think this is one of the few escape rooms a really did not like. Nothing made sense. We end up doing almost anything. The clues did not made sense either.

Wouldn’t even call it an escape room to be completely honest. Maybe fun for kids or newbies.

Not super interesting or very fun or big.

They double charged us for the room, the game guide came over speaker for every single puzzle to tell us exactly what to do before we had a second to process, the game stopped working half way through the game so we couldn’t see how the game ended, and no compensation was offered as they walked us out of the room. Overall, I wouldn’t have a 25 minute room if you’re going to feel the need to rush a team through the puzzles especially if the only time actually needed was to stand around and wait for acknowledgement that the second half of the game was broken.

It was short and boring in my opinion. Very easy too
