Mark as done to rate

Nikola Tesla spent his life stretching the limits of man’s knowledge of electricity and magnetism. After countless hours of research and experimenting, he’s finally succeeded in creating his greatest invention: a powerful generator that can wirelessly transmit massive amounts of energy to absolutely any point on the planet. This achievement is as dangerous as it amazing, for at any moment the slightest malfunction could lead to disastrous consequences on a global scale. Unfortunately, such a catastrophe may be happening at this very moment. Enormous, uncontrolled emissions of energy have been detected nearby and it is apparent that something has gone terribly wrong.

I would love to start by sending a shout-out to the owner Mike. When we are traveling we love to check out the local escape rooms. After lunch we picked Tesla's Doomsday Device and I went to book it on their website. I'm not sure how I did it, but somehow I booked the wrong room. In a panic I called in and talked to Mike (the owner) and he was awesome. He modified the reservation and put us back in the right room. If you have never been to this location before, it is located right next to the Dicks sporting goods inside the mall. When we arrived we were greeted by our GM Victoria. The energy level was high and we knew we were in for a great time. We went over the usual things and then Victoria transformed into a character and led us back to the room. The room is cute. Not super overly decorated but there is plenty to tell the story. There is some really neat tech in there. Things that we have never seen in a room before. It was also my sister-in-law's 3rd room ever. She really enjoyed it and this was a cool way to show her some true tech puzzles. We wish that we didn't live so far away because we would love to play in their other rooms. Well done guys!

The game is quite linear and flowed quite well

The props in the room are done quite well. They did a great job of making some things look like antiques

Outstanding high-tech escape room! Almost all puzzles fit the theme perfectly. One perception-based puzzle was so cute and satisfying, we both said, "Wow!" If you are into engineering, you will absolutely love this room.

Gameplay

Just carefully read all text, and you'll be fine. One physical puzzle was out of the theme. It was very frustrating and we wasted 20 minutes on it. At the end, we just asked to skip this puzzle.

Was anything broken?

Yes

The game automatically decided that we won although we only set 3 out of 6 pieces correctly. First we set 3 pieces correctly, then added the fuse, the remaining 3 pieces we did not touch. The game said we won. It is a confirmed glitch .

Live actors

Yes

Just at the beginning as an introduction

Physically active

Very

One insanely hard and frustrating physical puzzle. You can ask the game master to skip it and they provide you with a "key".

Accessibility

The game requires great mobility for one physical puzzle. Hearing is not very important but will help you a little bit. Vision and color blindless: no problem.

Mindtrix is really good at making clever puzzles with some impressive tech. This room had a really cool device that impressively connected to another to solve a puzzle. It also had a really difficult (but fun) dexterity challenge and some unique puzzles. The thing that lacks in all of their rooms though is immersion. All the rooms feel like an escape room. It's not an immersive adventure and more of rooms filled with some puzzles tied together with a general theme. This game has the same problem. It's not a lived in lab of a great scientist. It's three normal rooms with the items needed to solve puzzles. Remove the puzzles and there is nothing left. If Mindtrix can figure out how to add that immersion... they could have something REALLY special.

The rooms themselves ate the problem. The props used to solve puzzles are great. But they don't feel organic.

Tesla's Mystery was the best room we did at MindTrix. It had one of the coolest puzzle and lock combinations I've ever seen. The whole time we were solving the puzzle I was thinking, "this can't actually work, right?" But it worked, and it was so fun! When we walked in, the room was dark. That made me nervous about the room because I have bad eyesight, but the first puzzle is to turn on the lights. When the lights came on, the room came alive. The decor is very impressive and interactive. I always love it when creators are able to hide the generation two (electronic) locks in the decor/furniture, and this room has a lot of that. If you get a chance, do this room. We completed the room in 50 minutes.
