Toy Rescue: The Dream or The Nightmare

Completed the Dream version of the room with 4 people. The set design was nice and kept the theme of a child’s room. The puzzles were all pretty straightforward with mostly number/letter and key locks. There were some creative puzzles which incorporated the idea of children games/toys. All the puzzles flowed well but there was one lock which was already unlocked, which kind of detracted from the experience a little. Overall good room but not the best.

The idea behind the room was great but the execution left much to be desired. The option of choosing a scary or non-scary version didn’t really contribute to the rooms overall aesthetic or feeling. Unfortunately for us our room was not reset correctly so we ended up finishing the game But had skipped 80% of the puzzles in the second half of the room which was really disappointing.

Toy Rescue from Scram on Church Street was the second room we undertook on the 29th, following a lunch break to calm our nerves after completing F.E.A.R. Desensitized to whatever could come next after F.E.A.R., I have to say even the Nightmare version of Toy Rescue was a welcome calm. It did have creepy undertones as stated in the room's description, but there were no jump scares, which I was definitely thankful for. The boys breezed through this room once we got into the right headspace, finishing with about 10-15 minutes left on the clock. It was a fairly easy and fun room that made a lot of sense, had its share of enjoyable puzzles, and I feel like a little kid had come out in all of us as we navigated our way through this room.
