Overall, fun puzzles and decent immersion.
Gameplay
It was ok. The puzzles were very creative and some were fantastic. The immersion and overall experience was not as great.
Atmosphere
Somewhat
Customer service
GM gave us overly specific instructions at the start when explaining limitations of some puzzles. We would have preferred to have been told “don’t force this open; find another way” or something more concise instead of telling us what items to use to complete the puzzle. Our GM was also helpful when one puzzle didn’t operate as expected by telling us to check nothing was blocking the sensor. When it still didn’t unlock, our GM was able to remotely trigger it then we continued with gameplay. However when a similar mechanism DID unlock properly, our GM simply said “go check [feature] number 2 since it unlocked” and we would have liked a more immersive announcement.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
We really enjoyed the novelty of some puzzles. We did overlook some obvious things and ended up asking for hints, but overall very fun and intuitive designs.
Story
Maybe? I think the puzzles were the most memorable for me, but I could see other players really enjoying different aspects of it.

Ideal number of players

We successfully completed this room with 2 experienced escape room players. At times there were parallel puzzles to work on, but some puzzles definitely required more than 1 person to complete. Because of the small area of the room, I’d say a maximum of 4 players could fit comfortably and usually have something to work on at all times.
Scary
Not scary
Minimum age
12
Some height is required to either see or interact with several puzzles. There’s also implied gun violence at one point, which may be better suited for older audiences.

Somewhat
Required ability to move limbs into specific positions. Was difficult to reach some aspects at 5’5” but my partner (6’3”) could reach everything else.
Accessibility
Could be difficult. Requires mobility to move arms and legs into specific positions at the same time. Relies on visual color clues often. One auditory clue given separate from tv monitor, so no subtitle option present.
Easy to find location
Yes
Parking
Easy
Parking spaces designated specifically for guests guaranteed some open spots even if neighboring businesses were busy.
Safety
Yes
