My wife and I have experience with nearly 50 rooms and like to visit new ones when we travel. We landed on this one for Bangkok after seeing so many positive reviews. The reviews are entirely accurate. This is a fantastic room. The ambience is fantastic throughout. Each phase was solid. The puzzles were creative and fun to solve. They weren't terribly difficult, which is fine when they're unique enough that solving them feels satisfying. Multiple cases where figuring out the trick made me smile. Everything worked well and was in good shape as well. Truly one of the best rooms we've experienced.

We were running very late and the GM very graciously worked with us in every way he could. Really above and beyond.

The building was a bit more off the street than expected and not labeled well, but we got there without too much issue.

Not puzzle solving. Not a lock hunt. An experience. Everything is integrated into the world and progresses the story naturally. Strong atmosphere, smart mechanisms, and one of the most immersive finales we’ve played. We forgot we were in a game halfway through. Highly recommended.

The pacing was excellent. Constant momentum, no dead ends, and no frustrating leaps of logic.

Atmosphere

Felt more like stepping into a film set than a game room.

My favourite room to date. Amazing immersion, clever puzzles, beautiful attention to detail in the room dressings. LJ was the perfect game master, if you're in Bangkok you must give them a try, well worth the money.

Hidden gem in Bangkok! GMs were welcoming, thoughtful, and kind throughout the entire experience. Variety of puzzles for all types of thinkers. Very few combination locks. Flow was perfect, each room led into another seamlessly and kept us surprised.

Excellent escape room experience Incredibly immersive from the moment you walk in. Lovely game-master. Excellent puzzles - has mix of high tech, mechanical puzzles and some locks. Really cool puzzles that I have not seen in other escape rooms Would highly recommend this room if you are in Bangkok

This room was imported by a couple who loves escape rooms from Japan to Bangkok! While relatively pricey, the game was so worth it and the mechanics were so fun and so unique! Would highly recommend this! One of the top rooms on my list
