It’s a mini with smooth game play! Fun tech and cool special effects that work! Could be their best room here. I wouldn’t call this their easiest room - I would say that this room has the smoothest logic maybe of all their rooms which makes it flow well. Smooth flow without unnecessary frustration = enjoyment in our book! Go play it!

This was a fun singular room experience and definitely fits the bill of a "mini-sode". Our group of 3, which consisted of 2 adults and 1 child, solved this room in just under 12.5 minutes with no clues and the 10 year old did a good bit of the work. It's a fairly easy room with good puzzles that made sense. I would definitely recommend this room for beginners or those with kids who want to give escape rooms a try without running from one room to another. I would recommend this for those who are more experienced and want more of a challenge.
Gameplay
Gameplay flowed well and made use of the various types of locks and clues.
Atmosphere
While the room is a bit sparse, it is adequately decorated for the theme and the robot is quite amusing when you get him talking.
Customer service
The staff at Red Door is always awesome and welcoming. This visit was no exception as the staff were extremely helpful while I was booking and attentive throughout our entire experience.
Particularly interesting or different
No
While it was fun, it was an admittedly simply room with nothing overly interesting or standoutish.
Story
Simple and cliche story but that's expected for a room of this level. Keep in mind it is meant for inexperienced people or groups with kids looking to dip their feet into escape rooms.
Difficulty
Easy
Game tech
Mechanical
They did have one high tech tricky puzzle that involves either 1 smart person or some helpful teamwork.
Ideal number of players
3
This room had enough to keep 3 of us fairly busy the entire time as we spread out. It could easily and comfortably be done with 2 but 4 might just be a bit too much.
Scary
Not scary
Minimum age
10
Our kiddo is 10 and she was able to grasp nearly all of the clues and puzzles on her own. Only 1 or 2 needed some adult help.

Physically active
Somewhat
The only really physical part is hefting some of the robot's parts on, namely it's legs, as they can be a tad heavy.
Accessibility
Very accessible for those with mobility issues but they will need someone to heft around the robot's pieces. Not recommend for those with color issues as there are a few points when colors are involved.
Easy to find location
Yes
Easy to find and can be seen from the parking lot of the mall so you know you have the right spot as opposed to possibly parking on the opposite side of the mall from it.
Parking
Easy
Free parking is readily available nearby.

Short mini game, but definitely worth the play! We think this is their best room, all the puzzles were super direct, no confusion, the atmosphere was cute, and game play flowed really well for the few puzzles it had. It was only singular room, but i think it worked well for this place! Best for a smaller group, the 2 of us fit perfect and had enough to work on for both of us.

30 minutes of fun. A very easy game but a nice game. Would be great for bringing your kids or just an escape pal. Why you might like this room: you’re a fan of the Iron Giant. Why you might not like this room: Singular Room, fear of robots and the last remaining directional lock on earth.

For a 30 minute game, this was very well done! The puzzles were cute, the set was well put together, and the flow was great for two players.

Brand new room at Red Door but it is a mini game. It was fun but for an experienced group of two was quite easy. Still recommend this room but not for too many experienced players or it will be over too quick.

This was a mini episode of 30 minutes. It was a good little escape room. There was only one room but lots of good puzzles. 3 people is the maximum amount of people to play this game and any more would be too much anyway. I would suggest this game for beginners or people trying to kill a few minutes.
