really nice room! the setup and design of it was very cool. one of my favorite rooms there so far! spoiler below: live actor at beginning, he only talks to you. doesn’t make any physical contact. a couple loud noises but honestly not that bad once i reached the end. once the actor leaves he does not come back.

Of the 5 games we played at North Valley (Fall Mountain, Steampunk Railway, Big Top, Shafted, Alcatraz), this was my favorite. Amusing actor interaction, a convincing set, and a good finale are always good things. My biggest issue with the game was pacing and red herrings. The beginning of the game was very slow, though this was partly made up for by the actor interaction (and to be fair, was largely our fault for missing something obvious). The early midgame was also very slow because we kept focusing on something that turned out to never be used - I would have preferred if it was just removed, though the game is probably pretty set by now. The end of the game felt rushed - we were crunched for time.
Scruffy was funny and memorable. I would have preferred the GM nudge us to smooth out pacing - we wasted a lot of time early and were rushed late, and nudges to make this more consistent would have been appreciated.

3 enthusiasts felt fine, 4 might be better. It's more a lack of signposting than puzzles being difficult.

We attempted with just two of us. It is a BIG room and has a lot of tough puzzles. It is a very fun room with a lot of creativity! Hands down the best prison game I've done but you really benefit from more minds. It's fun and I highly recommend!

We had one door not open but they fixed it and gave us time we lost fiddling with it.

This was by far my favorite prison rooms we have done. We loved the live actor in the beginning. It was fun playing along with someone and creating a great experience. Each room and had a different fun element that definitely pushes you to stay on your game till the end of the game. I do agree with some comments that it felt like the game kept going and going and going. Some improvements can help improve 2 rooms and it wouldn’t feel as though it dragged on. We did love the escape room, and did love the amount of work that had to be done to escape.

The design was awesome! I loved in the cell block area how they made a 2nd level of cells. Loved how each room felt like we were in a legit prison trying to escape.
Didn’t understand the plot between murders and robbers. Didn’t understand who or what we were following to get out of the prison.

Prisoner in the beginning. Extremely fun to play around with! I gave myself a fake name and even traded my shoes for an item!

Well… this game is ambitious I’ll give it that. This is a massive game that I kinda wish ended after the first 30 minutes because after an interesting proof of concept beginning the game just… keeps going. And from that point on each room feels more monotonous and pointless than the last until it eventually just stops. And this 2nd half of the game just isn’t fun. The setting feels gritty and realistic not in a way that makes it stand out but in a way that makes it feel drab and boring. I’ll give it a thumbs up for pure ambition but I don’t know if I really recommend this.

Excellent room, one of the best I've done - the actor in the room was a huge addition and made it a much better experience!

this room was big! i enjoyed the beginning with the hint system. the rest was ok, i felt like some puzzles didn’t make sense. but i will say we did this room after 6 other rooms in phoenix in just two days, so our brains were probably fried by then.

Agh!! We didn’t escape 😭 this room was SO deceiving and immersive. Highly highly recommend if you want your mind and your heart to race. This is an amazing room!
This is CRAZY! Way more than meets the eye
