Code Samurai

Escape room

I’m so happy that such a fun and well designed room is added to the Riverside collection. Immersion began the moment we stepped into the lobby, our game master was absolutely lovely and had us giggling, the tech in this room was refreshing and included things I’d not seen before/in a long time! The hint system is integrated so well in the game (no walkie talkie or waving your arms for help, breaking the immersion). The room concept is neat one and the story flows pretty well. It is a smaller room, and not too many puzzles, so it’s a good beginner/amateur room to start, and nice to test your speed run skills for a more well-seasoned player, but neither the limited space or puzzle take away from the game. Add this one to your to-do list, and can’t wait until they come out with more.

This was not my favorite room… click on the review to see the breakdown

If you love arcades or just the 80s in general , you love this room. This whole experience was fun/ exciting and overall stands out over other escape rooms and I highly recommend you check this out.

I loved the theme, and the puzzles were fun. I wanted more of certain things, and overall I wish there was a few more puzzles, but I had a delightful time.

Not the hardest of escape rooms. It was pretty easy but the atmosphere of the game is really good and completely makes up for the ease of it. Talking to the owner I am excited for the next room(s) he does

Loved the atmosphere and the room, difficulty was not very challenging for experienced players. Still a great experience. -PAC

Nice theme. It was a bit easy for five of us and the AI wanted to assist quite a bit. Overall good room.

We are experienced players, but we breezed through the room in 28 minutes with no hints - 4 players. We found the overall experience lacking. Some of the decor didn’t go together and there were random trash bags (decor) thrown around the room which had no purpose. A couple of the puzzles were a bit hard and didn’t need to be.

This was a really fun theme! Video games meets 80s and some fun original puzzles. It’s not a big room, but there is a lot to do. You definitely don’t need more than 3-4 people though.

One of, if not, my favorite beginnings to a room and just an absolute blast of a world they crafted for the escape room. It's a tad small and a couple things could use maybe an update at a future date, but the puzzles are all fun and the story and interactions are great.
