The Orphan

I loved this room but there was an issue which, in my mind, should have been expected and changed. In every room that has a clock in it where the time has been set and doesn't change - what do you do? You use the time to try and open a lock. Escape Room 101. Well, in this room, you are expected to use the dollhouse clock at a later point in the game (when they point it out) and open the lock then. We opened it too early and this threw off the room to the point where the GM had to stop us and refocus our path. A minor quibble on a really great room but it has bothered me ever since. The story itself is great and you really get a great feeling of dread as you play. The video element incorporated into your game is a very nice touch. The setting is suitable mysterious and foreboding. The majority of the puzzles are well thought out and executed. This was my favorite room of the three that we played that day!

Larger room with a slow start puzzles are more mental based. Fairly non linear room.

Challenging and unique room. Glad we had 80 minutes. We had to watch a few videos (1-4 minutes) more than once so that was a time killer. One lock malfunctioned and GM came in to get it open. Fun but hard room!
