The Bad The intro had the gamemaster explain it to us face to face so the immersion could have been better, and the oven door unintentionally opened from a bit of force, gets crowded with 8 people and a lot of people may just be there to watch. Video was played to explain all the rules but lock functionality was not explained like other escape room areas. The Good Puzzles were easy to understand and made sense, was a medium-hard difficulty, most of the escape room game is best with 5-6 people, not too difficult to solve with 8 people and they can provide up to 5 clues which we didn't need. Contained dexterity puzzle which i haven't seen in a while! The host-Tony, was up-beat, good attitude

This was a solid room with good theming, and a few tricky puzzles that tripped us up. The only negative thing was the walls were really thin so we could occasionally hear the group next door, breaking the immersion. On an additional note, the room does look and feel different than it does in some older photos I’ve seen, so this review may differ from older ones.

Surprisingly cool cartel themed room that appears to have been revamped and upgraded since it was first released. A good mix of traditional locks and tech puzzles that aligned well with the quality Mexican cartel set design. It took us a while to get going as there was a very tricky dexterity puzzle at the start. We struggled more than we would have liked and escaped in under 40 minutes without clues, so it’s not a very hard room.

A great escape room with cool puzzles. We played with 8 people which is the max player count but that is way too many players in our opinion. As the puzzles are linear every one had to wait for one puzzle to be done to move onto the next. Highly recommend with less people. Overall the puzzles were easy - med, cartel theme was really cool

Though there is nothing that particular stands out about this room, I thought the puzzles and the setting are really good. Though there is one really finicky skill game which I think may be too difficult for a lot of people.
