7 Deadly Sins

The idea of this room is really great, but not well executed. We are relatively seasoned and know where to look in the “odd” spots, but this just was not it. Even the clues given were more riddles. We spent a lot of time doing the same thing as the clue given was what we already had in place. The flashlights given were almost an annoyance rather than a benefit. The music was also so loud that we didn’t hear part of next steps of the game. We were more frustrated than anything

4/10 We were a bit disappointed with the 7 Deadly Sins, especially after stepping into the room for the first time and impressed with how beautifully designed the first room was. There is some good, a lot of bad, and some ugly when it comes to this room. The good: As mentioned earlier, the room is beautifully designed and one of the best designed rooms Escapology has in our opinion. The bad: The puzzle design and flow were the weakest parts of the room and made it very frustrating at times. There were so many leaps in logic when it came to figuring out certain puzzles. Even after numerous hints, we were still so confused what certain puzzles were asking and what we needed to do. Some puzzles we solved based off of guessing. The poor puzzle execution really brings down our overall score a bunch. The ugly: Some of the puzzle and mechanics didn’t even work. Our game master even admitted to this saying they haven’t even set up certain aspects of the room yet. What really saves this room from getting a thumbs down is the design and story. We were really disappointed with this room because we have always had good experiences with Escapology.
