The Onyx Tower

Not as bad as wizard room but still not great. At least the puzzles made some sense even though the mechanics really left a lot to be desired with regard to feedback. There was none! Also we kept thinking the voiceovers would provide meaningful information. It would be such a low effort to have the audio be useful as opposed to asking players to continually make wild guesses.

Sometimes rooms are just made for us! My wife and I really enjoyed this room that is specifically designed for a maximum of 2 people. The entire room is entirely contained in one large trailer-sized box in the lobby, but there’s surprisingly quite a bit going on in it. Puzzles were pretty unique and clever, especially the last one. And the Lord of the Rings touch was perfect for my LotR-loving wife! Great for dates!

Super fun 45 minute mini room. Linnear. Some fun new tech. Really fun! Jim was the best game master.

Rating: 3/5 I picked this room because I wanted a decent room I could do solo that wasn't out in the suburbs, it definitely fit the bill. Pros: -Well decorated, everything fits the theme, appropriate atmosphere -Just about every puzzle had some sort of tech or electronic item involved -No padlocks or number lock puzzles -Cool use of technology -Game master was friendly Cons: -Price is high (even for 2) considering the length of the room -Only 1 room and it's kinda cramped but I guess that's why they call it "mini" -Some wear made some of the puzzles harder to solve -A couple of finicky tech interactions I made it out with 8 min to spare but needed hints for a couple of the puzzles.

Great room for two people! More for those who enjoy clever puzzles than the classic puzzle unlocks.

I was kinda skeptical when I saw how small the room was...but had a BLAST solving the room! There's a lot of technology and clever puzzles packed into a small space, and two people is the perfect number to solve them

Our first room! My husband and I did this as a last minute date night and it started us becoming enthusiasts. The room is 45 minutes and can only fit two. The business is in a building that an old bank and the location adds to the vibe. Street parking available. Pros: -Fun connection of the puzzles to the theme. - A few rewarding puzzles with novel payoff. - Some out of the box thinking on a puzzle or two that caught us off guard. Cons: -A bit of wear on the room that did impact puzzle play -Very tight and dark space -Story elements felt light and ambiguous

My Daughters first “Team-Leader” room. She crushed it. Absolutely a perfect game for kids and small teams and beginners. A sprint game for experienced players.

We’re a pretty experienced duo, so we used it as a time challenge room. Great for a speed run.
