Such a fun room!!! Definitely should check it out. The design of the room was something I hadn’t really seen before. My group had a great time! We were 20 min late because of LA traffic but our game master was very nice and still let us play and only took a few minuets off the clock which, totally understandable! Give this room a try!

The game was very unique compared to the other escape rooms I have done because they have a lot of puzzles that was different from my previous experiences that got me thinking differently on how to play the game.
The game was very Chinese themed that made it a little bit hard to understand but as I played forward, the game was not all that hard.
The props were very aesthetic as each of them had their own purpose of helping solve the puzzles of each room in which they were really useful.
They were nice enough to give us some extra time because we were late on playing the game.
Yes
The game will be different because most of the stuff you will do here, you probably have not done in any other escape rooms.
The plot did motivate us to think more critically.
Hard
The game is new and unique that you better ask for a lot of hints to solve their puzzles
Mechanical
The game didn't really have a lot of techy stuff despite being a new room.

The game is easier to do with more players in the team.

An adult will be needed here
Yes
Some of the props were broken that we almost missed getting one of the medal pieces but the game master was nice enough to give us that piece because he knows we should have gotten it.
No
The game master will be with you in the game but they will not really do anything except help you on the parts you get stuck.
Somewhat
You will be opening things that will take effort to do.
This game can be played by anyone with no problem.
No
Finding this place took some time which made us late to get here.
Medium
They don't have their own parking spot so we had to either park on the street or on a parking lot nearby.

Liked: - Great room reveals and progression. Small space, but felt big. - Great mix of puzzle styles - Non-linear, but with clear progression within each section. I've done non-linear games that had lots of little pieces, but they didn't tie together until near the end of the game. This game had several non-linear sub-lines running at once. Felt more satisfying to have several "We finished this series of puzzles" as we went than dozens of little puzzles. - Fantastic vibe and atmosphere. - Very satisfying and clear ending. Cleverly done and super surprising! (No spoilers, but we were all very happy with how things finished!) Could Improve: - Things started abruptly. The front desk staff were in the room with us, and awkwardly sort of transitioned into being "in character", if you could call it that, as we signed the waivers and went to the room. - There were 3 instances where a puzzle would only work if another (sort of related) puzzle was also in a solved state first. Not all bad, but it wasn't clear. So, each of those times, we solved a puzzle, then were like "OK, but nothing happened", then proceeded to second guess, only for the GM to have to tell us "That's correct, but this also needs to be done". I wish there were some way to say "You completed this micro-puzzle, now find other things to do!", or to direct you to the first in a string of puzzles more obviously/. Definitely recommend this room. 3 people felt like a good size, but 2 more could comfortably fit. Nothing "mind-blowing", a lot of "That was really well done!", and no "That was lame/frustrating". Escaped with 11:30 remaining. 2 semi-experienced players, 1 newbie.
Good ramping of difficulty reveals flowed well, satisfying unlocks and ending.
Awesome. Story was low key, but atmosphere was great.
Great GMs, good hints. They even jumped in to help with a physical puzzle that I couldn't complete by myself!

This was such a fun room! The theming and the atmosphere were amazing! The puzzles were unique and there was a lot to do for 3 people! The tech wasn’t working, and we didn’t get an intro on to the theme but it was a great time!

Best part of the game!

I feel super mixed about this room. If there was a 🫳🏻 “ehh” hand, between thumbs up and down, I would pick it. What ultimately ticked to thumbs up was the work that went into the setting and atmosphere. I really can appreciate the effort, vision, and execution of an amazing set up. Our experience was not filled with the fun and thrill of other escape rooms because there were three puzzles/items that were malfunctioning, plus, the ultimate reveal of the victory had us scratching our heads. Two of us (in a group of five) completed the final puzzle without even knowing we were winning the room, while the other three were in another place still working on a puzzle that ultimately had no impact on us winning the game (because of a malfunction). That excitement of a win and escape was flattened and it was quite disappointing.
Gameplay wise, many of the puzzles were frustrating. Two of us spent 20 minutes in one area on a few puzzles without making any headway. Also, there were three puzzles that were malfunctioning or not working as intended.
By far, the best part of this room is the staging. They did a really great job of creating an immersive world.
