Area 51

Very easy

There is no point in playing this with more than two people. There are only a handful of puzzles.

I guess if you find Area 51 themes spooky in general then this is spooky too.

There is some amount of reading and synthesizing information that I think would make this difficult for younger players unless they are very good at those skills.

Not accessible. Several puzzles rely on color, red-green in particular.

The puzzles flowed well and the story resolved itself smoothly as you solved each puzzle in the room. It makes it easy for groups to work on each puzzle together or split up and attack each one at the same time.

For such a small space they did a great job setting it up and designing it to fit the theme. The lights and sounds are enjoyable and the room isn't overly crowded or overwhelming for those new to escape rooms. It can appear sparse to those who are more experienced but remember who or what these types of mini rooms are geared towards before making a complaint along those lines.

Our GM, Madi, and the rest of the staff at MindTrap were always awesome and enthusiastic. Their eagerness and ability to get you started even if you check in early is that made it possible for us to experience so many of their rooms in one day. The best part is that, as GMs, they fully respect your team's playstyle and won't try to guide or correct you unless you ask for it. This was very appreciated as we've had some GMs give unwanted hints in the past. Never had that issue at either MindTrap location.

It wasn't anything overly unique or memorable but it would be interesting for those who are still new to escape rooms. It does a great job introducing them to the different concepts and puzzles commonly found in techy rooms while not overdoing it on the details, story, or complexity.

Short and simple story that you actually follow and stay with til the end.

Great for a quick warm-up, cool down, or introduction to the experience.

Mainly sensors and switches but nothing overly complicated.

This room is perfect for 2 players regardless of experience level and can be enjoyed by up to 4 inexperienced players. It doesn't have too many puzzles, as expected for a mini room, but those that it does have can mostly be completed at the same time. This allows players in larger groups to enjoy working on a puzzle without having to wait for others to solve theirs first.

It is very dark at the beginning before the room starts so be mindful of this if anyone is overly scared of the dark. This moment is brief but can be disorienting.

While most of the puzzles are easy to solve, a couple still require some reading and logical thinking. Younger kids would enjoy this room with the help of an experienced adult or two.

Everything worked perfectly.

None at all. The aliens you interact with are all simple props that don't move or make noise.

This is a small, single room experience that only requires you to move a few pieces of something a short distance a couple of times. Nothing a child can't lift and nothing that requires physical strain.

This room is small and can be cramped for those with mobility issues if they are in a larger group but, other than that, I would consider this room rather friendly for those with Impairment issues. Sounds and colors didn't play a huge part in the overall experience, but there are some flashing party lights at the end that can disorient those sensitive to it.

GPS took us right to the lot.

Plenty of on-site parking.

Great flow!
