66 escape rooms
I hate to do this and I've only given a handful of blue reviews but this room was just not good. A couple of the puzzles had many logic leaps that just didn't make that much sense. After actually progressing through each step, I can see how the puzzles could be solved, but it is far from obvious in the moment. A good room would have each step naturally flow into the next. The GMs were not at fault here. Even the best support and GMs cannot save a broken room. All in all, it just was not fun, and I would rank this towards the bottom of the 60-70 rooms I have done. That said, I am aware that Escapology has a negative reputation among enthusiasts, but I did thoroughly enjoy some of their rooms such as Murder on the Orient Express and the Scooby Doo one and would recommend those. I went in cautiously into this one and unfortunately this room "did not beat the allegations".

A lot of reading, poorly designed puzzles. Some puzzles were interesting but did not make up for the experience.
