752 escape rooms
My husband and I played this alone because we weren't able to find additional players. There were certainly some cool aspects of the room. The props are thematic, the set is impressive, and the puzzles (for the most part) are logical. My biggest complaint is the staff, and I think it's really disappointing that this huge escape room company doesn't prioritize training their staff to ensure that guest experiences are top notch. Three things that happened that stand out: 1) The first hint I asked for, the GM asked me what puzzle we were on. (BAD sign!) 2) There's a point in the experience when the staff needs to be in the room (trying not to give spoilers), and they were particularly noisy. 3) At the end, we had questions about the logic behind certain parts of the room, and the GM couldn't answer our questions. I think it's possible she's never played the room which is odd because I don't think we've ever known an employee that hasn't played the room before becoming a GM. There were a couple of other things that I didn't enjoy. The room was apparently longer at one point, but when they shortened the game, they left remnants of the old puzzles. This confused us on a couple of occasions. Also, I was REALLY shocked that the room had a walkie talkie for hints. This is one of our least favorite types of hint systems, and since the set is so sophisticated, I would expect that they would incorporate a more convenient hint system into the room. For the price we paid, I expected perfection, but they didn't deliver.
