Save Scoops Ahoy

The look of the room was pretty good, but some of the props were broken, special effects were unimpressive, design was sloppy, some props were very dirty and gross to touch. Important labels were worn mostly away and hard to read. Tech kinda worked but not smoothly. GM was waiting for one of the big puzzles to be solved and tech to fail so she could come help. The GM was constantly giving us clues over the baby monitor without being asked. Not sure if that plus missing things because of the production quality issues made us start to give up, or if it was just poorly designed, but it often really wasn't clear which puzzle we had enough pieces to be working on at a given time. There were also a bunch of things that looked like they had information on them that was irrelevant to the puzzles and distracting. At the end she said we got farther than most groups and that the room was 9/10 difficulty and hardly anyone escapes, and I was sooo frustrated because it wasn't that the puzzles were difficult, it was just poorly designed and poorly maintained.

I liked when you ask for a hint, what you're given still requires a bit of brain work to advance. So much better than just being told what to do, so you still have that sense of accomplishment finding the info you were stumped on. (Note: Without giving any spoilers here... kudos to anyone who can figure out one specific part of the ice cream cones without a hint!). The room was well designed & as my 1st escape room, has me wanting to go back & try their new "Jail Break" room immediately! Another addicted customer. 🤓

When we first arrived, they tried charging us for my granddaughter. Who’s only four years old. Even though I was told on the phone multiple times that she was free. Every single lock in the room was almost broken. The worker had to come in three times just to open things that we had already figured out, but it was “finicky”. It was honestly a waste of money also at the end when we got into the second room, she kind of pushed us into the second room, even though we weren’t ready to go over there because she had to reset it for another group to come in while we were still in the second room meaning that they’re just trying to get you in and out they don’t even care if you pass it the game masters at this place or not in it for the fun of the game they’re in it for the money. There was no TV screen or anything to keep our time and to get hints. There was a baby monitor that was used as communication between us and the game master, which didn’t even work if you touched it wrong it got unplugged.

I love stranger things and this room definitely had its challenges but the flow wasn’t up to snuff.

This was a VERY hard room but it was fantastic. I’d highly recommend but understand going on that you will probably not complete it. My friend and I are avid escape room people (he’s done about 400 and I’ve done about 50) and we struggled a lot. There were some clues that weren’t relevant and others that we overthought. Despite not finishing it, I loved it.

This room was honestly amazing! Very impressive how good everything looked. But this room was very hard so just think about that when inviting people. Even though it was hard you can still do it with a small group (that’s what we did) I would very much recommend you go play all their rooms!
