I 100% recommend this room to all who might be interested in it!! Awesome puzzles and an awesome story. It’s fun, well-managed and reasonably priced (especially on weekdays!). Our GM was enthusiastic and lively and really made the experience work for us. We did it with two people and despite being super out of practice it wasn’t frustrating at all and we got pretty far in! We had some tech issues but it wasn’t the fault of the room and they were solved as quick as possible. The story was super well-written, memorable and funny, and the puzzles were complex and satisfying to figure out. We’re going to be following the creators for all future experiences for sure!
Gameplay
The gameplay was unique and filled every square inch of the room. The story flowed effortlessly across every puzzles and made us laugh at multiple points. Overall it was very well written and smooth!
Atmosphere
The art direction was immaculate. It was super fun and actually expanded on the tropes it used instead of repeating them mindlessly. It was very immersive and creative!
Customer service
Our GM was stellar. He responded to questions promptly while still keeping the solutions to the puzzles secret. When we had tech issues he was able to fix them quickly and professionally. He knew how to hype up the room and was just overall lovely to talk to.

It’s certainly possible with less but you definitely need great communication and multi-tasking abilities.

Was anything broken?
Yes
We had an internet outage in the middle of the game through no fault of the GM but he figured out and fixed the problem as promptly as he could, and gave us extra time to make up for it!

Physically active
Somewhat
Lot of stairs to get in but once in the room is compact and easy to navigate. Things are located both high and low to the ground, though!
Accessibility
You have to go up a large set of stairs to make it into the room, and once there it would be hard to maneuver with any large mobility aid. People with colour blindness would find this a little extra challenging. All audio was subtitled.
Easy to find location
Yes
Follow the instructions on the website!
Parking
Easy
There is plenty short-term parking in the area.
Safety
Yes
