Loot Wars: The Harvest

This was one of my favorite rooms! It's been a few years since I played it, but the puzzles were great, props on point and staff was amazing. A few unexpected events, which all added to the immersion!

The GM initially introduces us to the room’s reputation as being one of the hardest in the OC, and yes, we had seen reviews stating that there were a lot of puzzles (all gen 1). However, the room began more than 20 minutes late and the axe throwing noises from the other room was very prevalent throughout the experience. Now here comes the specific cons we had with the room. There was one specific puzzle that was more of an extreme nuisance rather than there being anything to figure out. It involved something very flimsy and mechanical. What made things even worse is that the GM was not responding to us despite us spending at least 10 if not 20 minutes asking if they could just hand us the item because we couldn’t reach it. I repeat, there was nothing to solve and it wasn’t a puzzle. We just could not reach the item with such a flimsy tool provided. In the end stages of the room’s puzzles, we were completely stumped on a puzzle as the key and objects were already on the table. The room was not reset fully, so it was very confusing on what we were supposed to do because it was already done. The GM (when they finally responded to our question) excuse was that the cameras did not enable him to see the whole room due to its angle. He even apologized stating he needed to monitor the axe throwing party more closely. They ended up giving us extra time because of all the issues, but at that point it just felt like a given win with all the time wasted just standing and waiting for someone to respond to our issues with the room. None of the puzzles were hard, so I can’t say this is even close to being expert difficulty. When they do pay attention to you, they ask what you are doing and give unsolicited hints and guidance. Many times I had to state that we were already doing it or that we already did it. Our party was very unpleased with the overall experience.

Thank you Nathan and Mire for welcoming us so warmly! My group did axe throwing and both rooms here and we THOROUGHLY enjoyed all! The Harvest was my favorite of the two, it had a lot of physical puzzles which I loved! It felt immersive and the puzzles were difficult which I also liked! Really forces you to think outside the box. I love playing a room that humbles me lol. Wish we had more time to do their rage room too! You do not want to miss out on Kings Eye! 👁️

Had such a great time playing!! the two games i played were incredible and the hosts nathan and mire were incredible! i definitely will be telling people to come and play!

One of the best rooms I have ever went to. The puzzles were somewhat difficult but enjoying none of the less. Our game host was amazing and set the atmosphere perfectly for us. A lot of props and scenarios but overall it was amazing.

Had fun in this one! It's one single room, so take a smaller group.

Pure Gen 1. Fun escape room with some elements of unique gameplay. I don't think this is remarkable, but definitely worth checking out if you're just looking for one to do. Would love to see this room revisited to tighten up puzzle design elements and give the set dressing a glow-up.

So much fun and challenge! Worth a few experienced players.
