76 escape rooms
The story behind Organized Crime was one that pulled my group in. Two of us being self proclaimed Escape Room aficionados, we figured we could handle the hardest room these guys had to offer. However this room was hard for the wrong reasons. Set pieces weren’t glued down where they were supposed to be, the puzzles were either too simple or too far fetched to be attainable and fun, and the room as a whole had no finite finishing point. The point of the room is to find all of the clues of a crime at the crime scene, but it’s up to you to check them off a list on the wall. There’s no sound cue telling you you’re on the right track or something has been found. Also, there was one box holding three keys and one keypad. When a number was uncoded, it didn’t matter if it was 4, 5, or 6 digits, you just had to know to put it into the keypad and hope for the best. And as good as some of the set design was, the idea of it being a seedy bar for criminals was kind of lost on our group, especially when we felt nothing was at stake. Needless to say, it lacked immersion and felt just like a room.
