Darker than expected. High quality room with multiple doors to solve. Puzzles flowed well with the theme. The room has an older feel than the others in the building. However, you canβt go wrong with Omescape in Sunnyvale.

An underrated epic adventure game that gets slightly bogged down by too much unnecessary movement for the use of a couple gameplay mechanics between rooms and unnecessary story scenes that get this- require more unnecessary movement between rooms for the group to see them. If these issues were fixed and there was just a little bit more pizzaz to the game (especially more usage of a particular game mechanic that feels like something straight from a video game) this would probably be in my top 10, but as is this game still deserves the heart rating and stands up with the rest of the Omescape Sunnyvale games.

Forsaken Temple is one of Omescape weaker rooms, but even then it is still much better then 90% of what you'll find out in the wilds. It has some very cool and unique puzzles, a good mix of physical mental and communication, and some pretty good set design (and as always, great tech). If you are traveling, this is a room you don't have to play but is worth the time if you do. For locals, you should definitely make your way inside the Temple and discover it's secrets!

Omescape is a solid company. Any game at this location won't disappoint.

Theming was great, and many of the puzzles were fun to solve. However way too much time spent going back and forth between rooms, and some puzzle solutions were a stretch or required huge leaps in logic. Physically demanding (crawling, climbing, high steps, etc.) so players need to be fully mobile or else just stand on the outside at times. No real cohesive storyline, and not enough simultaneous puzzles to make it fun for larger groups. Overall still enjoyable, but somewhat unsatisfying due to the lack of cohesion.

I really liked this room! The puzzles were fun but not too difficult and the production value / props is really fancy. The story was a little confusing and we had to keep going back to one room to watch videos to progress the story. But otherwise, I really enjoyed the puzzles and atmosphere of the room. I would recommend 3-4 players for this room. The puzzles are linear and some of the spaces are pretty small, so it would be difficult for more players.

We were excited for this one, but it unfortunately fell short. The excessive back and forth movement felt restrictive and the game was entirely too linear - especially because it requires a few people so you canβt split up, and everyone has to just follow around for each task. The storyline was also βrequiredβ to pay attention to but it was extremely convoluted and didnβt match upβ¦I had no idea what the actual point of this story was. The puzzles were a stretch and it seemed like prerecorded hints were needed at every turn. There was a lot going on and it was high tech, but it didnβt justify the price. $60 per person felt excessive for this.

The set was great and I really enjoyed the use of space. Plus, it was one of the most unique entries into an escape room that Iβve seen. There were two puzzles that were really memorable and overall they were good and in there. That said, I still only give it a thumbs up because of the cut screen style videos and attempts at storytelling which were really just distracting and unnecessary. I would recommend 3-4 players for this room.

Very linear room, some decent group puzzles, but also a lot of standing around in big groups. Good set design, good gimmick of swapping night and day. Good puzzles, just all around good, but nothing spectacular.
