One room filled with 12 padlocks. It's almost the same room as their daughter company Escape Games PDX had, but they removed my favorite hilarious puzzle re: Santa's portrait. All puzzles were easy, some a little bit confusing. The final (12th) puzzle was frustrating due to excessive cognitive load and information overload. The room would benefit from quiet Christmas music to improve the overall atmosphere. Why disliked: do not recommend for experienced players given the price tag, a single room, and too many padlocks.

Fun room with non-linear puzzles. Lots of locks and plenty of puzzles so each of us could work on something separately at the same time. Our game master was friendly! We didn't end up needing any clues, so would rate this as an easier room. Worked well with our group of four.
