Really enjoyed this room. It was fun and not overly challenging. Just a great room for 3 people. Opportunity to work alone and as a group. Nothing felt out of place.

Fun theme and intro! Some unique puzzles and interactive elements that we'd never seen before. The story was entertaining and the set was a fun spin on a classic theme. We didn't love this as much as Storyteller's Secret!

It's a really seamless experience. Everything is well-integrated from puzzles to hints, and there's lots of cool tech in the room that really adds to the atmosphere and immersion!

This is a fun room with good production value and story! Couple of fun reveals and a unique puzzle or two. Fairly streamlined gameplay, which is keeps progress feeling consistent and satisfying. I personally felt like there was a LOT of content to solve for our 4 person group - even though it’s streamlined, there’s a lot of puzzles, which is great! So get in there and get ready to solve!

Such a blast! Fun room. Some really fun puzzles. But mostly the staff are just welcome you with the utmost kindness and warmth. Lucid was our GM and they are lovely. Definitely recommend.

Awesome room! Great for beginners, on the easier side for experienced but still lots of fun! Good mix of tech and locks. Puzzles are logical and there are things that can be done in parallel so you aren’t waiting around for others. Room is a little dark which can make some parts challenging for those who struggle in low light. One part does require someone to crawl but only one needs to do it.

Very thematic with some fun puzzles! One puzzle in particular I'd never seen before. One thing I didn't like was the GM came into the room to help us twice rather than using a microphone or audio cue - one lock was slightly finicky and she came in and just did it for us saying "can I check? You have it right!"... they should have a prerecorded voice to say "that looks right, try again" if the lock isn't perfect. On another puzzle, we were looking at something in the wrong way, but rather than give a nudge, she just came in and showed us. An odd immersion breaker in an otherwise really immersive cohesive room. Favorite Non-spoiler Puzzle (iykyk): Astronomy Runner-up: Floor

It took us two only 45 minutes with a few hints (the GM overnudged, however), but it would've taken less time if we had been paying more organized with items! Nothing too tough here.
