The Morgue

Great theming, props, and atmosphere. Had plenty of space to look around and investigate and they did a nice job creating a good experience. The puzzles were a bit vague at times and it felt like there were some logical gaps that should’ve been more clearly filled in. It relied a bit too much on assumptions/guessing to figure out some puzzles.

Rating: 3/5 - Average, but somewhat enjoyable. Very mechanical, almost no tech. Pros: ➕Good set with a lot of props, everything was weathered and felt gross which fits the theme ➕Multiple areas to explore and definitely felt like a morgue ➕Appropriately creepy/spooky (only 1 minor startle) ➕GM was friendly and helpful when needed Could be better: ➖Initial puzzles felt very unintuitive but the rest of the room flowed well enough ➖Puzzles were just OK, many were maybe a bit too basic and not creative ➖They're old school and require you to lock up your phone and don't allow unlimited hints or nudges. They take themselves a bit too seriously and don't seem to value having fun like most other escape rooms nowadays. Cons: ➖Almost all padlocks and no tech, only a single electronic lock and an off-the-shelf electronic device. Room isn't difficult for enthusiasts, I'd recommend 2-3 players, not more than 4. UPDATE: My ranking of Rugged Xscape rooms I've played, however I don't really recommend any room here, I enjoyed my time a lot more at Mission Breakout Lafayette. 1. The Morgue - 3/5 👍 2.
