quality was pretty on par with other escapology rooms. theme was fun but wasn’t overly large and impressive. puzzles were average. two puzzles were problematic, they made sense logically but were difficult to interpret, even when solving them correctly a hint was necessary to give us the codes . overall it was what i expected from escapology, wouldn’t be bad if it was your first ever room but there is much better quality out there.

Puzzle Quality: 5.5/20 Looks/Theme: 4.5/15 GameMaster Rating: 6/10 Operation Fluidity: 3.5/5 Combined Rating: 19.5/50 Overall Difficulty: 4/10 Quick Notes: - Multiple rooms, smaller in size. CATEGORIES EXPLAINED IN MORE DETAIL BELOW: Puzzle Quality - How intuitive, logical, and unique the puzzles were. How well do the puzzles fit the theme? Looks/Theme - How much effort, time, and money went into making an immersive and unique atmosphere. GameMaster Rating - How attentive and helpful was the game master? Were the hints given in a timely manner and were they quality hints that helped but did not give you the solution too directly? Operation Fluidity - Was the game reset properly? Was it clean inside the room? Were the code entry and solution methods working properly as intended? Overall Difficulty - This is fairly subjective but is mostly correlated to how many total puzzles and how time consuming they each are compared against the 60 minute time limit that almost all rooms have. Combined Rating - Simply a total tally out of 50 of the four main categories. (Puzzle Quality and Looks/Theme are weighted a little more because they are the most important parts of having a good experience). The higher the number, the better the room! Just remember that a 5/10 or 7.5/15 or a 25/50 combined rating is an AVERAGE rating (for some reason in most people’s heads, a 5/10 is a below average or bad rating). So if a room has a combined rating of above 25, then it is a quality room and a good experience that I would recommend! It has to be a really well done room to score above a 35.
