Definitely our LEAST favorite game at Countdown. The room was really dark and there was a large eye hand coordination component that we struggled with. It wasn’t what I would call a traditional escape room. Very large and empty.

I enjoyed this room! It was a bit simpler than most of the other rooms at countdown games but it was still enjoyable. This is one of the easiest games we have done at Countdown.
Gameplay
Very linear and the puzzles were relatively simple but it flowed nicely!

It’s a pretty dark room and you only get one flashlight so I’d prefer to do this room with a small group.

A very interestingly themed room! Note that the entire room is mostly pitch black, so if you hate that, don’t do this because it stays dark throughout with minimal lighting, mostly for light-based puzzles. You get a flashlight and that’s it. There are also stairs, which I feel isn’t super safe in the dark. Anyway, a humorous thing happened where we sequence broke the room by accidentally correctly figuring out a different password while trying to solve an earlier code. The room went bonkers and broke down for us, and the GM had to come several times to fix things. There is a big dexterity puzzle that isn’t so fun that you have to do multiple times. Doing them ended up breaking our room because the room’s technology was confused what point of the game we were on? An entire puzzle refused to turn on. I’m not upset, especially since we got a $5 off coupon each for a future game. I’m just amused. Also, we ended up escaping fast because we skipped puzzles and broke everything.

Completely broken from accidental sequence breaking. Puzzles didn’t activate, doors opened up or remained shut incorrectly. Ended up skipping puzzles. GM came in several times to manually fix something. We were offered $5 off coupons each for a future game. We came in from out of town and already paid for all their games though.

This was a cool room, pretty linear in puzzles and not too challenging. The “big” puzzle was a lot of fun. It’s a good thing we had a coordinated person to help. This is a room we recommend playing, it’s just fun. Another good one from Countdown.

Shock & Awe was linear but fun. Never got stuck too long on any puzzle.

Really enjoyed this room even though it is definitely on the easier/beginner side of things. Fun puzzles and theme was good throughout.

Not a lot to do and very linear game play but it was enjoyable with some unique puzzles I’ve never seen before. We played as a group of 3 and my 11 year old loved it.

We played 7 games at Countdown and really liked this one. I normally don’t like games in the dark, but this one worked. Had a few interesting puzzles.

Shock & Awe was a fun game that looked very cool. The main puzzle was a ton of fun. The puzzles are not that difficult but most were fun and on theme. We really enjoyed it.
