The idea and theme behind this room is cute, but the execution left something to be desired. The set itself feels a bit tore up and the speakers for the intro video were very quiet. Overall, not super immersive. The puzzles themselves felt disjointed. It's designed to be linear, but a lot of the puzzles and clues are available at the same time, so it feels impossible to determine the order you should be completing things. There were also several instances where we solved a puzzle correctly, but it didn't trigger a success or outcome (sometimes had to repeat the solution, and sometimes it was just really delayed) and that left us confused. We have experience completing MANY rooms with just two players, but this room has so much happening, it felt impossible. Also, the clue system was novel, but felt cheap. This business is definitely geared towards casual players looking to drink (they sell drinks and cups). I wish it was better.
Gameplay
Felt designed to be linear, but you had access to all of it at once, so it was very confusing to try and find the intended order.
Atmosphere
The overall design was nice, but the execution left some to be desired.
Customer service
The staff was welcoming and polite, but the game guide struggled to give good directions when requesting clues.
Particularly interesting or different
No
They did use an ipad clue system that was just a gallery of images to direct you. It also used red filter glasses to then give you the actual answer if the clue wasn't enough.
Story
The overall idea was very cute, but the execution left something to be desired.

Was anything broken?
Yes
There were several instances of the puzzles not triggering when solved properly. At one point, this took 2-3 tries of a puzzle that took a lot of time to complete and sunk a lot of time.
