137 escape rooms
To this day, this is still the worst room I have ever done in my life. I went to this location wanting to solo a room as a challenge, and this was the only one available. Right off the bat, they didn't reset the room correctly so I had access to the final lockbox. This caused a lot of confusion when I was solving a puzzle that led to accessing that. At no point did the gamemaster let me know that I was wasting my time until I straight up asked for a hint on where to use my new found information. Not to mention that this puzzle was extermely hard to decipher visually because of EXTREMELY small font. The pre-loaded hints were all garbage. Set design was pretty barebones, and the last room really didn't fit the theme in my opinion. My biggest gripe was that the final puzzle was incredibly obtuse that I legitimately would've never figured out how to operate in a million years. When I asked the gamemaster to demonstrate this for me, he wasn't even able to do it himself. I am not exaggerating when I say that you need surgical precision to operate this puzzle. Easily the worst puzzle I have ever encountered. The cherry on top is that the final lockbox locks you out for 5 minutes if you put the incorrect code after like 3 times. Like WHY would any escape room designer think this artificial time gating would be okay?? Just so many astoudingly bad design decisions and tons of quality of life annoyances along with incredibly weak theming that makes this an easy avoid.
Gamemaster was pretty nice, but there was a point where I asked for a hint and had to wait like 2 or 3 minutes to finally get one.
