Amazon RainForest

We continued on our desert trek down the dry and dusty road with nothing but the melody of Shotgun by George Ezra to keep us entertained. Struggling to make it on time we discarded with our plan to stop at the old watering hole (Starbucks) along the way. Feeling dehydrated and malnourished (hadn’t eaten in over two hours) we nevertheless mustered up the energy to play. Our gamemaster was exceptionally friendly and enthusiastic helping us to quickly forget about the long journey. We were briefed and escorted into an apparently ill-fated airplane where we soon discovered that all was not well. After the debriefing video and mild heart attack inducing introduction, we recovered and quickly began the game. The puzzles were all simple, logical and themed to the South American rainforest storyline. We progressed rapidly along stymied only occasionally by concerns about breaking fragile set pieces and questions over whether items should be moved or manipulated. Our well-trained eyes sometimes struggled to locate missing items and figure out whether items were working correctly. The game appeared to flow along regardless and we soon recovered all the missing items and escaped the terrors of the jungle. Pros: Friendly and fun hosts created a welcoming environment. Logical and simple puzzles made for a great game play experience for all. Cons: The set was truly unique but we worried that it may not hold up to wear and tear. We proceeded slower and more cautiously to avoid breaking decor.

I can tell this game had grand ideas, but in execution suffers a bit. Starts off strong, but struggles towards the end.

This room was really immersive and there was a lot of love put into the setup!

Great owners. Really put their heart into building out their games!

A very good room that could be great with a few tweaks. There are some strong elements of set design and novel puzzle interactions. The cheesy intro video doesn’t do the initial set justice, and the final section of the room feels more half-baked than the preceding sections. Run books and translation inhibit complete engagement from the group. However, this is a fairly-designed room where a group of mostly new players got out with a little struggle but no hints!

I enjoyed this very much. First time doing an escape room experience and it was a pleasant experience.

The first part of the escape room was very unique and fun. A pretty immersive room all in all.

This room was ok but some of the props were broken which slowed us down because we couldn’t tell what was important and what was debris. But definitely a different beginning to a room!
