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
Gameplay
Great gameplay. Loved the video game aspect to introduce the story and the interactive story aspects. Puzzles felt like they were related to the theme.
Atmosphere
Set design was great.
Customer service
GM was amazing, he seemed like the owner and was fantastic. Loved how the rules were explained
Story
Story seemed cool but I felt like a lot of time was spent on it and not a lot of it was a part of the game so I wanted to hear more.
Difficulty
Easy
Actual puzzle difficulty was a breeze for experienced players. The flow was a little odd and felt semi linear but also out of order.

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.
Gameplay
Some original fun puzzles, but also some that could have been a bit better.
Atmosphere
Very video game!

Our game master was great! We’ll call him R.O.N.I.N.

A lot of the puzzles are pretty doable, but there are a few that are challenging strictly due to vision.

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.

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.
Gameplay
Puzzle concepts were fresh and something I’d never seen before. Game flow got kind of confusing because there were pieces of puzzle in one room meant for the next room, but not a deal breaker by any means.
Atmosphere
The coding and some of the props were absolutely great, blast from the past and definitely immersive from the get go, even in the lobby. It’s a smaller room but that doesn’t take away from the experience.
Customer service
GM was absolutely great, keeping in character from the beginning, helpful throughout the game, and a pleasure to talk to and pick her brain afterwards.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Knowing that one of the owners did all the coding for this room just made me appreciate it all that much more.
Story
Definitely a memorable plot and neat concept they can keep running with.

Fun room! On the easier side, and felt a bit small, but good use of space and fun puzzles. Definitely multilinear. Yvette was our host and it was a great time, I can’t wait to go back and continue the story. Definitely the highlight of the night. In my opinion, best room in Riverside. Escaped in 28 minutes as a group of 3
