Bombshell

I enjoyed the set and special effects in this room. If you value those things it is definitely worth playing.

Bombshell is one of my favourite games in New Mexico. The use of sets, lighting, and sound really immerses you in the story of the mafia family. The use of technology in one scene of the game really adds to the experience. There are also a very good mix of puzzle types in this game to activate all different parts of your brain. My group really enjoyed the game and wish it was a bit longer because we felt it ended abruptly.

I personally loved this game. I’m typically a very puzzle focused player and my one critique of this game was that there wasn’t a ton of puzzles (I think maybe 10ish in total?) but where this game shines is that all of the puzzles that were there were solid and satisfying. This game also had one of my favorite props I’ve seen in a while and not only did it surprise it once, it surprised us twice! Great use of space and great theming. I was incredibly into this game from start to finish.

We would definitely recommend these guys! My advice would be to book in advance, because some rooms sell out fast.

We escaped by slamming buttons at the very end and didn’t even solve the last puzzle. Not my favorite room, not a bad room by any means.

So the effort they put into the theming and atmosphere of this game is awesome. It is a beautiful game in many aspects…but that is where the praise ends. Too many physical type puzzles that our team struggled with. When we were able to use our brains, the puzzles were confusing and the solutions often a bit abstract. Our game master was pleasant enough but certainly didn’t help out much when we were burning through time on a few things. We were on the last puzzle and I literally had just a few more moves to make when our game abruptly ended (there was no clock to let you know what time was left) We sadly exited and a picture was taken on a camera of theirs. We like to get one on ours, but the employee refused. I suppose our phone had too many germs or something. Oh well…left a poor taste in our mouth for the place.

I wanted to enjoy this game because it was obvious a lot went into the room and design. However too much was lacking on the puzzle end for me. Here’s what I didn’t like: There were SEVERAL time-consuming arcade style puzzles which I don’t enjoy very much. Several minutes of our time were taken away by their story- it goes dark and you have to listen Clue system was a phone in which only one person could hear clue.

A great take on a mob-themed room. I very much enjoyed the physicality of many of the challenges. There were multiple plot twists which kept the excitement high through the experience. And a fabulous transition between different parts. So good!
