Mark as done to rate
The Amazing Argo, a high-flying gravity-defying metal dirigible, is a technological marvel--or at least, that's what the advertisements say. But the creator of the Argo has many enemies, and all of them would love to see his crowning achievement fail its maiden voyage. Not all of them would go as far as to sabotage the ship, but it only takes one...Can you stop the threat before it is too late?

To start off this review I wanted to show some well deserved appreciation to our Gm Alain , he was one of the best gms I've ever had. He was very kind and was just absolute pleasure to talk with. As for the room it was built really well, when I stepped into the room, it felt like I was transported into a whole other room. The puzzles were challenging and fun. I highly recommend giving them a chance
Gameplay
Overall I had a fun time with this room and I feel like the puzzles flowed well
Atmosphere
The atmosphere was on of the best parts , I really enjoyed the steam punk aesthetic and the room itself was made really well
Customer service
Our Gm Alain was absolutely fantastic. He went out of his way to accommodate my group when we wanted to try to come in ealier to do the room. Other then that he was very welcoming and was an absolute joy to talk to. He alone made my experience the best it could've been.

An awesome room that was tons of fun. Few minor little things where there are a lot of props that are labeled as not in play that was slightly immersion breaking but we appreciated the help! Loved the staff there, they were awesome and super passionate about escape rooms!

Hey there! Thanks so much for the feedback, especially about the prop labeling. We want to make our experiences as immersive as possible, so we will be trying out some alternative ways to indicate something is not in play without breaking immersion. We hope to see you soon for more rooms!

Staff and owners are very friendly and passionate about escape rooms. You could tell that it’s an older escape room with the quality of some of the puzzles but they were a lot of fun to discover and complete anyway. Not overly complicated. Lots of really cool props and glad that they labeled things as display only.

Loved all the steampunk decor. Very fitting for the style. I’m really glad they labeled things that were only meant to be decor/display.
Customer service
Staff were very friendly! Very passionate about escape rooms. Gave us some great recommendations for around the area. And just people you could talk to all day.

The environment was really immersive with steampunk props and tech that made you feel like you were really aboard an airship. The puzzles all made sense without being too plainly obvious with their solutions. Staff was very friendly and positive. Will return to do more rooms. Keep up the good work Experience Machine!!!

this was cool to play; the puzzles were logical, but just not the types of puzzles i’m good with, so i’m glad my friends mostly carried me while I found wardrobe items to wear

Fun steampunk themed room. Gen 2 but it’s not a downside. Cool props and design, you can tell they had a ball building this room. Unique puzzles as well.
Gameplay
Unique steampunk theme was cool.
Atmosphere
A little loved, but immersive and unique nonetheless. The props were really cool.

GREAT! Fun hang.

Very fun steampunk decorations and some solid puzzles in here (along with fun stuff you can wear). At the same time the story itself is pretty lackluster and for me there was a bit too much blacklight based puzzles. It's a fun room, but it lacks a compelling narrative or any "wow" moments/puzzles.

One small tech issue, but other than that, no issues. Can't wait for them to open up the new location! I think good things are in the future for Experience Machine.

Very fun. I love steam punk and this room scratched that desire for a stem punk adventure. Owners and staff are incredibly friendly.

Cute room. The puzzles were fun, our GM left us alone unless we really needed a nudge or asked for help. Unique game play would recommend.
