Dark Wyvern Mining

The room itself was great. Lots of fun puzzles and some pretty cool teamwork opportunities. One problem… We asked if we could do another room immediately afterwards when we saw that there were several bookings open on their website. The manager made us sit out in the lobby for 40 minutes, until all the booking times had passed and then came out to tell us that — because all the booking times had passed — we could not do another room. It was super disappointing to spend 40 minutes waiting only to be told we could no longer do another roo

Great room! Loved the genre busting theme! It felt like a real excavation adventure into a fantastical mine! It’s also 90 minutes so there is more time to breathe, solve puzzles, and soak in the scenery. The transition, while really fun, broke on us, which was super unfortunate… Puzzles were good, but the game was very lock heavy. Locks on locks on locks… and also one clue is literally wrong and made one puzzle unnecessarily frustrating. It certainly didn’t help that it led us trying to put that wrong combination into 4-5 locks at the same time… There are fun wow moments and the set design is excellent and immersive. Our group had a lot of fun! One particularly smart puzzle kept our partners very involved! Would recommend digging up this one if you’re IN the area!

I really like the thought behind the set design. There are alot of locks that need to be decoded which wouldn’t be so bad except for that all of the puzzles seemed very sequential. There were times I found myself not doing anything as the other members of my team were solving something; we don’t like to crowd each other.

Loved it - it was a serious challenge, but I never felt like the room was frustrating. The set is amazing and detailed, this is a truly immersive room with a lot of “wow” moments. If you’re experienced with escape rooms, this is a “Do not miss” experience

Rating: 2/5 I really wanted to like this room but it ended up being frustrating and disappointing. The set design is wonderful, it was very immersive and felt real enough, I loved the transition between areas which included special effects. However, the puzzle design is where the room falls short. Many of the puzzles lacked creativity and there were just too many locks (padlocks and number locks). Some items required multiple locks to open or we'd open a locked box just to find another lock inside. My teammate jokingly called the room, "lockception." It's usually older, 1st generation rooms that rely a lot on locks, but this is their newest room and most other places have advanced to more creative puzzles. There were also some flow issues, no structure to the searching, we had to try the same combo on multiple locks until we found the right one, and after over an hour of lock puzzles, we were just over it. It's only a 90 minute room because they added so many locks to open. It also didn't help that the game master had no way to hear what were doing so he had no idea what we solved already when we asked for clues, the only communication method was a 2-way radio, but this may have been a temporary issue when we played it.

Overall, a really fun game! The set was pretty and there were some puzzles that I really enjoyed/hadn’t seen before! Highly recommend it! And the employees were super professional/friendly!
