Fun game but note that while Chapter 1 can be played with three players, future chapters require four which halted our continuation of the story

Played both this and chapter 2 back to back and it was a good time! Both rooms seamlessly combined with eachother so I am not sure what was part of the 1st vs 2nd room. But it had cute and unique puzzles and was a fun time overall!

The room was entertaining. There are multiple “chapters” that can be played in the same room. We were often distracted or thought we had more to do because of elements in the room for a different “chapter”.

Really enjoyed this room series (we played Pt 1 and 2 together). Loved the 2 hour play and the seamlessness of the rooms. Highly recommend for its unique mechanics, fun story, and friendly staff.

So fun and CLEVER. I loved the whodunnit kind of vibe in some ways and found the production quality of the room fantastic. Game master was also phenomenal so the entire experience was great.

Really enjoyed it! Many red herrings were present so it was a challenge to find which information is relevant and which isn’t.

Great story and flow with a super immersive room design from start to finish. The attention to detail was really impressive. We did five escape rooms throughout the Phoenix area today and this one was a standout. We were a group of two and escaped with 22+ minutes to spare but it was by no means easy, we were just in the zone and completely engrossed in the story. Can’t wait until they have more rooms!

This game was pretty cool- a lot of novel clues and definitely not like any other games I’ve played. Challenging for two players
