Tons of sensors involved in this room, and everything worked really smoothly! The atmosphere is great, you feel like you’re in a small cowboy town; however, it also felt pretty sterile. There were very few decor elements that weren’t used in puzzle solving, so finding the clues felt pretty simple. Excellent theatrics though!

Game was alright, I liked the set a lot but was not a big fan of the puzzles. The ending wasn’t great imo it seemed like they ran out of money, imagination, or space.

Rattlesnake Bend was my favorite room at Bust Out; it felt notably more modern than their other games, both in set design and interactions. One piece of tech was a little fiddly (lights didn't consistently trigger), but did not impede solving.

Rattlesnake Bend is a very fun Western themed escape room, complete with a mini town to explore. I really loved the theme and puzzles in this game. The game incorporates a diverse mix of puzzle types that come together for a very engaging experience. The story and characters are fun and add to the experience. Great for all ages, and beginners and experienced players alike.

One of the better “wild west” themes I’ve seen — the story is amusing and the puzzle flow is smooth. It looks more nonlinear than it is, so a smaller group would be better than a larger group, but you’ll need at least 2. Several of the puzzles have multiple layers so communication and observation are key skills. The set is very nice; my only complaint is that the ending is anticlimactic, but that’s a small thing. Recommended.

I think this was my favorite game at this location. A lot of fun and satisfying puzzles that my group really vibed with. Wonderful set! The preshow was ADORABLE! I just had a truly great experience with this one even if we blew through it fast than I would’ve normally liked.

A great room, especially for a less experienced group. It was just challenging enough to make it fun and everyone (6 in our group) could be involved.

This was an immersive game with excellent set design. The puzzles lacked a bit in this one. Some repetitive sequence type tasks as well an a few puzzles that lacked clear clueing and direction made for a few frustrating moments in the game. But overall, I did enjoy it.

Room decor was very immersive and creative. Some if the puzzle solutions were leaps imo but still enjoyed it. Also it was frustrating that there were several sequences to remember but nothing to write on. GM was very nice and probably gave us a few extra minutes to finish it. If so I’m grateful and really appreciate that grace when we are close.
