Shady Jim's Jewellery

This is quite a bizarre room but with a whole lot of randomness in the types of puzzles it throws at you and a lot of them do require a bit more abstract thinking. Though the flow for the puzzles did flow well enough for me to enjoy the room. You get a couple funny quips here and there throughout the room. Though I did feel like there wasn't a solid reason to keep the room in darkness and a light source other than the initial flashlights you receive would have helped as well. One of the mechanical puzzles also didn't trigger properly and I completely skipped the last puzzle by exiting before the next puzzle could trigger.

A very eclectic kind of room, Shady Jim’s was just a bit odd all around. Puzzle flow was weird along with a mix of very thematic and not really thematic puzzles I found myself a bit lost throughout. The puzzles weren’t necessarily difficult and the humour throughout the room was a fun addition but I did leave feeling like it could be a lot more. A cool theme I haven’t really seen used elsewhere just strangely executed.

Had fun. Will be back. Found it challenging, needed a few clues to get going.

An interesting inclusion to Trapt's roster, a jewellery heist room with a bit of humour and self-awareness thrown in there, it's good fun but needs a bit more. The puzzles themselves are implemented nicely into the environment around you but the direction and flow in which to solve them can quickly become pretty muddled through some obscure signposting. Not game breaking but could use a tweak. Shady Jim's is a rare experience where the darkness inside the room actually fits the theme and creates a better atmosphere as opposed to just inhibiting players for the hell of it. Would love to see a more concrete storyline that raises the stakes or gives a greater sense of urgency but I still had a fun time. Solid room, good for a couple laughs.
