Ruins: Forbidden Treasure

We loved this room. We loved how it started, and we found the interactive element to a lot of their puzzles super fun. This place always does such a good job. One thing that stuck out to me was the use of locks. They made sense to the experience and weren’t just used for the sake of a puzzle.

I always love the atmosphere and the uniqueness about the rooms here. They are a like predictable, but still overall fun and worth it. This one had a few puzzles that were confusing and not straight forward.

This is a professionally done room, but in its streamlined version, played like a solid game instead of an immersive adventure. It was well-themed and very professionally built, but lacked character or surprise. The majority of the room was built to be indestructible though one part of the last puzzle was not working properly and after about five minutes of struggle was seemingly bypassed with the room operator explaining afterward that it was “very finicky “. Aside from that everything was solid, with good logic. I had a very experienced group of five and we completed it in about 40min with no hints. Overall, a decent time, though nothing I would go out of my way to recommend.
