Dr. Braingood

From my understanding, this is meant to be a beginner-level escape room. If you're a veteran escaper and you're going into it with that in mind...it's okay. That being said, a lot of beginner escape rooms are also fun for veterans, and I didn't find this room living up to that standard. It specifically had two incredibly long and time-wasting puzzles, both of which are near the top of my "I hate these types of puzzles" list, so to slog through them both in the same room was a bit brutal. Even with those we finished with 13 minutes left on the clock. There apparently is also two different Braingood rooms with different visuals and potentially slightly different puzzles? We got the visually boring room (warehouse) so who knows, maybe the other room is better. The actor playing Braingood and the plot was pretty fun, but that was the highlight of the room for us.

It was a fun room. The theme was a little weak making it hard for us to know what the next step was. Puzzles weren’t overly difficult. Love the location but give the room a 6-10

the game masters at the Bureau are amazing!! Coral is our favorite. this room was fun but a little tricky with two people, I like that they aren't a typical lock and key escape room venue and the theming is always great.

Felt like a very quick game but had a very good time story was a little all over the place but enjoyed the puzzles.

Overall it was a fun game. Seemed short. Not overly challenging. Love that they don’t have the typical locks for everything. Wouldn’t say it’s a must do but it was cute, fun, and a bit silly at times.

This is a fun quirky room, with unique “puzzles” like all of the Bureau rooms. However since they rely so heavily on tech, sometimes things malfunction and we had multiple issues in our game that made it really frustrating to work through. I overall enjoyed the room and what they were going for, but I was really frustrated during it when we kept encountering issues.

This room really felt more like a cooperative game rather than a logic based escape room, but it was still entertaining overall. There were two tasks that I didn't enjoy at all (one that required finding all the buttons in the room, and the one where each player was tasked with one commandeering one specific function of a plane for a game). Otherwise, the room was entertaining enough, but it didn't really scratch the escape room itch. I did like how silly it was overall, and the set design was great.

The few puzzles that were there were pretty easy, but the room really needs 3 or 4 people working together because you'll need to be several places at once multiple times during the room. Regardless, the other rooms we've done at the Bureau have been top notch
