Really like the set design, concept was fun, we worked through the puzzles slowly but steadily. The last puzzle is quite challenging and not very intuitive. Save time for it! I’m frustrated we burned a clue on it.

Great vibe with simplicity and complexity that complimented each other. Save time for final puzzle, though!

It was fun, but the host made a crucial mistake that required him to physically step in and edit his mistake. He forgot to add the part back in. We probably should’ve gotten a refund, but didn’t. Can’t recall much else, unfortunately, given how long ago it was.

Older game, not a high production value but still fun if you are new to escape rooms. Some of the puzzles are rather easy to figure out with one needing to be upgraded.

This is one of the first rooms the company created, and many items in the room were very worn / breaking off. Many puzzles we "solved" has no reaction, and we were only told in the room that you have to hold items down for X seconds, or move things after a sequence (with no visual indication that a sequence was complete). We would have liked this room better if it receives some TLC and mechanism updates.

It was fun Treasure hunt type of game. It had some difficult puzzles due to vision issues but otherwise it was very fun. Our GM Grace was very helpful when we got flustered.

There were a couple pieces that you really have to look at carefully or you will definitely be confused.

Our GM Grace was very nice and ready to help.

Out of 50+ rooms so far, this one has the most technical issues we’ve encountered. Two separate technical issues caused staff to intervene and come into a room. A third technical issue involved us trying the puzzle solution for several minutes before operating correctly. Most of the time was spent waiting for puzzles to operate correctly, rather than actually solving or thinking. The ending had the only “challenging” puzzle, which was honestly just nonsensical and poorly designed. Not the worst room we’ve done, but in the bottom 10%. Even if this room had operated properly, this would probably still be the case. 2.5/10 overall would not recommend to any new or advanced players.

Just doesn’t real well tbh… some tasks took way longer than they should have while others were very simple. It wasn’t that this isn’t easy, cuz it’s pretty straight forward, for some reason your mind is perplexed when trying to think what comes next… the tasks just don’t flow.
