48 escape rooms
This was a fun room. We failed the "Once Upon A Time" room earlier today (not even close to finishing it) so I was pretty nervous about attempting this room which has a higher difficulty rating. The good news is that with six players we were successful! This was my 18th game (13W - 5L) so I still consider myself a novice. The other players in my group (4 adults, 2 tweens) have similar statistics. We played the Christmas version. The room was well decorated and the puzzles were fun. It was mostly non-linear so everyone had something to do.
The set design was really nice and everything appeared to be in working condition. Since we played the Christmas version, a few decorations were taped over the usual ones, but it did not detract from their function.
The design was nice. The puzzles were fun.
Our GM was nice (Melissa, I think?) and gave us nudges when she saw us stuck and hints when we asked.
Yes
I really liked two of the puzzles (one we needed a hint with though...)
The plot was cute and movement between the rooms was easy.
Hard
There were quite a few puzzles so more hands and brains is recommended. We had a few puzzles where one player would be confused and another would exclaim, "Oh! I know!"
Mechanical
I think it is actually split. There were quite a few traditional locks but also several tech-y tasks.
4
We played with a group of six and this was good for our experience level. This was my 18th game (13W - 5L) so I still consider myself a novice. The other players in my group (4 adults, 2 tweens) have similar statistics. You need a minimum of three for one of the tasks.
Not scary
10
Our youngest were 8 & 10 years old.
No
No
Somewhat
There are stairs. Movement between rooms is necessary as is kneeling. Nothing high energy though.
There are stairs, color puzzles, visual puzzles, etc.
Yes
It is in Fashion Valley Mall (with lots of covered parking and a food court)
Easy
The mall has ample free covered parking. One lot is directly across from the business. We did three rooms today, so we brought our dog and left her in the car during our games. We really appreciated the covered parking and grassy areas for the dog. The Green trolley also stops withing walking distance of the business (like, 500 ft away?)
