Was anything broken?
Yes
It wasn't part of current game play but there was a clue/puzzle that remained in the game that seemed like it needed to be solved. It was not an intentional red herring but a discontinued piece because it had not worked properly. It would be better if it were removed.

My spouse and I had mixed feelings about this room. Theme: we enjoyed the theming of the first area, but the second fell a little flat for us. Puzzles: there was only one we particularly enjoyed. Of the rest, some were ok but there were four that we found frustrating for one reason or another. (fwiw we have no problem being outsmarted by a puzzle, but none of these gave us an "oh, that's so clever" moment when we either solved them or asked for a hint.) We also encountered a tech failure which they had a way for us to bypass, but we missed out on a puzzle because of it. Warning: if you're sensitive to noise / auditory simulation, I would avoid this room. The second area isn't overly loud in terms of decibel volume (although it def isn't quiet), but -- and I'll be vague here to avoid anything remotely spoilery -- there are sound loops from two sources that play CONTINUOUSLY. They're loud enough and of a nature that made them hard for me to tune out. They were irritating even though noise usually doesn't bother me. Miscellaneous: We escaped as a team of 2 (our usual team size) getting hints on a few puzzles. The ending was anticlimactic. I don't recall a clock in the room. The second area is non-linear.

Mostly high tech. Only a few combination locks in the second area.

Because the puzzles in the second area can be solved in parallel, this is probably a good room for 3 or maybe 4 people but very doable with 2.

One piece of tech wasn't working properly. Staff told us how to skip it but we did miss out on a puzzle because of it.

Avoid if you're sensitive to noise.. There are sound loops from two different sources that play continuously in the second area.

This game was positive, simple, and fun. We’ve had less than thrilling experiences with this franchise with other games, so this was a welcome change. It was fairly easy and straightforward.
