Good room. Not the best there. But had neat puzzles. Struggled with the first puzzle and had to ask for a clue which we usually don’t need especially so early. There are stairs. Lots of puzzles to solve.

It didn’t seem like as much effort was put into the development of this room vs the others at countdown. Nothing really impressive about it and didn’t flow well.

This room wasn’t as grandiose as some of the other rooms at countdown but it was still entertaining and flowed nicely. I enjoyed the puzzles and gameplay. Just for the record, when I played this game, there was no live snake that is mentioned in the other reviews so that part of the room may have been edited since the other reviews were written.
Gameplay
The gameplay flowed well. It was relatively linear and made sense in context with the storyline.
Atmosphere
The atmosphere was immersive but not as overtly impressive as most of the rooms at countdown. The office setting was just a bit more mundane than other themes at this location. A few of the reviews here say that there was a live snake in this room, but when I played this game (5/26/24), there was no live snake.

This room is listed as ‘hard’ difficulty however, in comparison to other rooms at countdown, this room wasn’t as challenging as I had expected. There are much more difficult rooms so I would say that this one was more of a medium difficulty.

Some spaces may feel somewhat cramped with large groups but it would definitely still be doable.

One thing didn’t work in the room but the workers were very proactive in fixing the error and made sure that we were given additional time to finish the room.

Really solid room! Only real reason I rated it lower than other Countdown Games rooms is because the office-themed set design is comparatively plainer than their other excellent immersive sets. Puzzles are solid and fun though. What I liked most about this spy-themed game was that you get to disarm a bomb with actual wire cutters. And if you mess up, you are penalized. If you make enough mistakes, it’s gonna blow! AKA you lose! It’s a fun ending that makes you sweat, just like it looks like in the movies!

Very good room with plenty of puzzles to keep players engaged. The puzzles made sense with the theme of the room. The real live snake in the study was a great addition! Definitely give this room a try!
