This was the final room of their collection and I wish we had done it earlier in the series. It wasn't my favorite and little things left a bad taste in my mouth. It wasn't a terrible room either and if I didn't have experience with other rooms and other companies I probably would have loved it. Looking back at it I would have to say it was the flow. Moving from puzzle to puzzle didn't seem instinctual and it felt more like stumbling from one section to the next. There were several good puzzles and a handful of puzzles that made me roll my eyes as to how were we supposed to deduce this... The owner/game master was, as always, delightful. He took time to ask our opinion on the room and actually took time to listen. We have had him for each our trips here and he actually made the whole experience. I can't wait to see what new and exciting surprises he will unveil in the future.
