Red Sled Redemption at the Holly Jolly Holiday Hubcap Repair

Lots to do here and flowed well. Non linear.

Great Christmas theme but some props showing wear and tear.

Jaimie was good gm

The sled was cool but more could have been done with the rest of the props and decor. Still way better than a lot of rooms though.

Like all Doldrick’s games, there was a story. I think most people will find it cute.

Mix of both

One puzzle was missing key information. No big deal, things happen. Only issue was the GM let us try to solve it for 20 minutes before realizing something was missing from the room. But again, things happen and this should not be viewed as negative for this company.

Someone has to be able to crawl under something

This was a cute room that had a pretty cool Christmas theme. All the puzzles worked towards the overall objective of fixing Santa's sleigh. There weren't any puzzles that wasted our time on purpose.

The props and environment were great. It is only one-room, but everything fit the theme and the scenario perfectly.

The GM was great, we found ourselves needing some clues and nudging and they provided great hints without giving away anything.

Basically you are Buddy in Elf when he has to fix the sleigh, but you get to do it in a shop instead of Central Park. The plot was humorous and was carried out throughout the puzzles perfectly.

I don't think any of the puzzles were overly difficult, but there were so many to complete that even if we didn't waste our time on puzzles without all the information (we failed to fully sweep the room for clues before starting the puzzles) we would have been hard pressed to finish in time. It is a full hour room.

There was a group of 8 in the room before us, and when we got in there I couldn't imagine how 8 people could fit in that room comfortably. We did it with 3, but I think if we had our normal team of 4 we would have completed it in time.

Someone will need to be on the floor at some point but they provide a way to make that easy.

First time at Doldrick's and the staff was awesome!

One of the few tech elements in this room faulted on our playthrough, so if something doesn't work, don't hesitate to ask for help!

Three gives you enough that some of the two-person puzzles can be worked on while another player works elsewhere. There is a LOT to do!

One puzzle we solved correctly did not trigger the effect that followed. We lost time trying to repeat the solution. Our gamemaster quickly informed us something was wrong, and had us work on other puzzles while they tried to solve it. Eventually, we were asked to step out of the room briefly while the puzzle was reset for about a minute, and then we hopped back in. This did put off our puzzle-solving flow, but was handled as best as I think it could've been. It would've been nice if they had offered a discount for another room to offset this relatively significant setback, but not essential.

Somebody has be able to get on their back on the floor for a puzzle

some color-based puzzles

Non-linear game play so it had less of a flow and more of a freestyle feel. A couple unique puzzles and interactions broke up the more traditional lock puzzles.

Really fun and over the top. The smaller foot-print made it a little difficult to make super immersive; but very enjoyable

Great GM.

I found the premise pretty unique, though not something completely over the top.

Very goofy story that was well woven in to the puzzles.

I was really surprised to see this was rated so highly on difficulty. We were a group of 4 and mostly split in to pairs to solve independently. I could see struggling if you were all focusing on a single puzzle.

Mostly mechanical, but with some fun theming that played in to the story.

And more than 5 might feel cramped, any fewer than 3 might struggle with the volume of puzzles

Very goofy, fun holiday theme.

All ages

Not a thing

One small section required some bending, but without that I would have said not at all.

Well lit for an escape room and more room than I'm used to.

"Crawling" needed to be done by one person
