It needs to be at least 2 hours. The puzzles were overwhelming. Over 40 puzzles. You have up to 20 puzzles in the first room. I wish you can move to the second room faster to be able to understand better your time and what else you have to do. I liked that there were a lot of puzzles but I definitely thought that they were miscalculated players time. The room with so many puzzles to just give only 5 hints I feel it's just a ripped-off. Imagine only 7% escaped. It's very low for an escape room.

Holy hell, there are so many puzzles and locks and possibilities! This room has cool set pieces at times, and the amount of content plus the ambiguity of puzzles provides the difficulty. With so many input options, it can be hard to know what goes where, and early on, puzzles can feel less intuitive. The first part of the game is smaller, more difficult, and overstays its welcome. The second part offers more diversity in props, puzzles, and the environment. This is a room for experienced players or people looking for a challenge. Lots of connections must be made to succeed.
Gameplay
A puzzle gauntlet! Occasionally ambiguous or underclued, but the puzzles are still satisfying to solve and provide a lot of work for the team. The final puzzle of the game requires a little tedious work, but the adrenaline will get you through!
Atmosphere
It looks like a creepy motel! A mid-game gate is a supremely satisfying transition.
Customer service
The GM was great, and they even paused the game and provided additional support when puzzles were maybe broken or if a piece was suspected to be missing.
Story
The development of the disappearances at Kate's Motel had an expected but satisfying payoff. The ending was anticlimactic (our GM even warned us of this prior to starting), but the path to get there was a gratifying struggle.
Difficulty
Expert
You will have to use a lot of abstraction and observational skills to make the necessary connections on some puzzles. There is an obscene amount of content and enough ambiguity that hints will be needed.
Game tech
Mechanical
Even though traditional locks abound, there are some cool pieces of tech embedded throughout.
Ideal number of players
4
4 pros or 6 newer players. You need good communication!
Scary
Spooky
There are elements scattered throughout that may irk squeamish players, and there are a couple small jump scares that are easy to predict (but they provide more entertainment than thrills).

Was anything broken?
Yes
Some puzzles didn't seem to respond to the proper input, and others relied on extensive organization. Our GM deftly and graciously handled these issues to avoid an unnecessary defeat.

There is one puzzle that is slightly challenging to complete and may actively fall apart on you. With all the content, you may be running around at the end.

Interesting puzzles but would benefit from having more people/brainpower in the room (4-6 seems to be recommended). Puzzles seemed linear but that might just have been because we were confused and therefore moving one at a time. That being said, there were some cool aspects I have never seen in an escape room before. Overall good puzzles and definitely a challenge! (#3 hardest in the state)

Fun room that’s pretty complicated. A few of the puzzles were broken, which really hindered us. We weren’t able to complete the room by the time limit, due to one of the puzzles not working. A little disappointing.

The game is really well thought out with a lot of fun unique puzzles! I had a great team with me and with only a 19% success rate we did really well! Keep in mind this room is the 3rd hardest in the state of Arizona.

I think at a certain point towards the end of the game they severely mess with you to waste more time so you fail this giving their room a low success rating purposely. Also making you run out the door to the office to stop your time *eyeroll*
