Overall, this room has the potential to honestly be a very solid 9/10 experience. This is a room that features no word or digit locks, but finds creative ways for players to solve puzzles that advance themselves in the experience.
The theming is great, the atmosphere is very creative and the difficulty was just where it needed to be for two intermediate-level players.
Unfortunately, execution was lacking. Several (at least 3 times) puzzles did not activate when we solved them correctly the first time, leading to us solving it incorrectly and being thrown off, only to have the game master come over the speaker and say “try this to make it trigger.”
One puzzle in particular was a “wrong answer” when the clue was directly pointed at…it felt more just intentionally misleading than attempting to be deceiving.
The staff was friendly, and it was a very busy day between two GMs. I have to say, however, we attempted to ask for a nudge for over 3-4 minutes by waving our hands and asking for a clue, only to not receive a response. It took away from time needed and frustrated a bit.
Overall, this is a 6.5/10 experience but has so much room to be amazing, if the execution was better.
