The Prime Artifact

Escape room

First of all, I appreciated the homegrown feel and the fact that this was a family of enthusiasts putting their all into something -- as far as a hobbyist room goes, this is as good as it gets and a huge kudos to the effort here. While this was out of their control, I did not appreciate that it was not transparent that there was an outdoor section during the heatwave; that section had a number of spiders and felt unmaintained (I suppose part of the vibe) and one teammate emerged with a half dozen mosquito bites. One part with water did not smell particularly great, and so I found myself wanting to shower for the rest of the experience. I found the acting a bit repetitive and felt it could have been shorter. Overall, the puzzles were also unmotivated, largely a laundry list of tasks, far too many red herrings in the rooms (gen-1 style with lots of searching and physical locks), and a lot of gimmicks which were fun but hid the general repetitiveness and lack of narrative motivation on the puzzles -- I love escape rooms yet wanted to quit halfway when I found my nth identical looking clue. To their credit, they were very patient, which was very helpful for us. I felt the sets and gimmicks carried the Terpeca rating, but the puzzles left much to be desired.

This is one of our favorites of all time. After hearing about the length of time others waited, we truly feel lucky and honored to have been able to play this game. The family is so sweet and made sure we had a great experience.
