Excellent room. The pacing and complexity of the puzzles were perfect for beginner or intermediate puzzlers, but there were also a number of more complex puzzles for experts too! The DM was also very jovial, kind, and didn’t stop smiling! Wonderful room, I wish I could do it again for the first time!

We went here for our wedding day!! (We said we could sign our marriage certificate if we got out!!) This was the perfect room for two escape room enthusiasts on our special day. The room was awesome!! The puzzles were challenging enough. The GM was so friendly and inviting!! Definitely couldn’t have asked for anything else!! Thank you SO MUCH!! Oh!! And there are phone chargers in the lockers!! Such a nice added touch!!
Lost track of the storyline a bit. But the puzzles were super cool!!
Amazing from the moment you stepped into the room!!
GM was AWESOME!! He was so welcoming and made our WEDDING DAY GAME an absolutely memorable experience!! (Bet he didn’t expect to take pictures for us on our wedding day!! 🤣🤣)

The flow of puzzles was great!! No standard combination/key locks in this room!!

Even if you don’t need a hint, ask for at least one. Their clever way of getting hints is a fun addition worth experiencing.

Might be my favourite room in DC! (Or maybe second favourite after The Depths?) My team of three escaped and had a blast. The set is thoughtful and in good condition. It took us a little bit to get some momentum going, but the pieces fit together logically and creatively, with a mix of difficulties. Not too linear, which is nice in a group— we could work in parallel. Every puzzle felt well rewarded, and everything worked as it is supposed to. The pre-game rules video is absolutely the cringiest one I’ve seen in a very cringy genre, though. Well worth the drive from DC proper!

We added this room to our list after hearing such great things about it. The room looked beautiful with a lot of attention to detail. At first the room was a little overwhelming with so much to see and touch but once we starting solving puzzles we got in a grove. A couple of the puzzles we needed help with because the answer was not obvious and we were told to guess which we are not a fan of in escape rooms. Especially when their rules before going in stress not to guess answers. We struggled the most with a lock that we could not open and were told to just follow the directions and we wasted so much time they had to eventually come in and open for us. Overall the room was just ok frustrating at times which made it just not fun.

This is one of the best if not the best escape room I have ever been to. We love it so much that we went twice to show to our friends. Can’t wait until they are done with their 2nd room. Random and unsuspecting location, don’t let that deter you.

Wonderful room, clearly constructed with a lot of care! Good flow, high-tech, strong storyline, and diverse puzzle types (+ hilarious intro video). We did this room as a group of two and finished with 3 minutes to spare. Hope to see more rooms from Cyber Racoon in the future!
The only reason this is not a heart rating is that I feel strongly that firearms, even props, are not appropriate for immersive gaming. Recommended read on the topic: https://roomescapeartist.com/2023/12/29/guns-escape-rooms-immersive-entertainment/

One puzzle requires the ability to differentiate colors; one or two moments might be difficult for people with sensitivities to flashing lights; room will be easiest for folks who can easily bend down

Really fun experience. Loved the set and the puzzles. Sad that they never ended up opening a second game!
