This room is awesome. The black and white theme makes it particularly immersive. It also looks beautiful - as is the case with all of the rooms I have completed at the Cipher room so far. This one is certainly more challenging than their others, and had cool and unique clues.
Yes, the set was particularly well done.

Had a great time in this room, a real challenge. Was incredible theming and atmosphere
Enjoyed the flow from outside to inside
Absolutely loved the black and white. So well done
I wish there was a meh button rather than thumbs up or thumbs down. Our game master wasn’t bad but we also left feeling like we were a ‘burden’ the intro stuff was very bland and the hint we were given when we asked wasn’t super helpful. We ended up guessing puzzle and after the same the game master was very bland and the way they talked to us brought down the vibe. We felt like we had been a burden somehow

The black and white is really what made it different

Super well themed, very fun puzzles. Satisfying and challenging experience - would recommend embracing the black and white aesthetic and dressing the part for the room.

Cipher Room are in a league of their own so compared to their other rooms this one is pretty meh. Compared to anywhere else it would be top tier. Their other rooms have more spark and intrigue compared to this one.
