This was a really fun room. The set was super cool and immersive. The puzzles were also great and we had a lot of fun with them. The customer service is also fantastic, the staff are super friendly and helpful.

I arrived at opening to ask if I could play the room alone (provided I bought the minimum 2 tickets) and the staff was incredibly accommodating; they let me know that there were a lot of things to find in the room and that it could be difficult for one person, but it wasn't impossible. I came back later and the staff member remembered me and was excited to run the room. There was a great mix between interactive and lock-style mechanisms, and though there were a few tricky moments where the specificity of how to solve something (ex. I put an object facing the wrong direction) wasn't immediately intuitive, the GM helped to identify and work through those moments with clues that were helpful but not too obvious/intrusive. It was a great experience overall.

Staffing (specifically Garry) was fantastic. I arrived at opening to ask if I could play the room alone (provided I bought the minimum 2 tickets) and was told yes and advised about how that would make the room more difficult. I came back later and he remembered me and was excited to run the room. He provided excellent and helpful hints through a few tricky moments, all very well timed. This was easily one of the best experiences with escape room staff I have had.
Story
Difficulty
Medium
Hard as a solo player, but it'd probably be medium as a team of two or more. Some of the difficulty came more from the process of physically solving a puzzle (ex. I know what to do, I'm just having trouble actually doing it) rather than needing to think through something more thoroughly.

2-4, depending on how collaborative and/or experienced the group is. Room can also be played solo if booking 2 tickets, but it is more difficult.

I don't think it's inappropriate for young audiences, but I do think some of the puzzles could get frustrating for small children.

Physical activity optional. I elected to run/jog between rooms to save time (because I needed it), but this is not necessarily required.

A well paced room with good decor. Nice mix of puzzles, and quite a few puzzles required you finding things around the room so don't be afraid to explore!
Difficulty
Medium
No single puzzle was hard in isolation, though we did overthink a few things!

Could be done by a smaller group, but we had 5 and it worked well.

Nothing overly exerting, just a couple things that required some dexterity
Accessibility
A little dark in places, and one puzzle could be difficult for someone who is hard of hearing. A couple of things would require some reach that would be potentially challenging for wheelchair users
