“DEFINITE HEART. WOW. What a room! I absolutely loved the puzzles! There were lines and non linear elements and lots to do for everyone. Everything was so high tech and you can really tell so much went into the room design. The DETAILS DETAILS DETAILS. So much to see, explore, do, and even some more challenging puzzles (more so bc we didn’t have a pen and paper tbh so memory played a bigger element). Great room! A must do in Reno. Also I have to shoutout Maxwell for the best escape room rules intro I’ve ever seen 🔥”

The year is 1940, and the city of Chicago has shown its dark underbelly. You've been called in to help solve a case for the Noir Detective Agency. This fully black and white room will be sure to make you feel like you're walking right into the middle of a 40's film noir movie. Aided by a mysterious stranger, your detective skills will be put to the test. Will you be able to sift through the evidence, examine the suspects and nab the culprit in time? ​ Noir consists of two episodes that each take the full hour. Both episodes are 100% unique with their own story, a different crime to solve and their own puzzles. Let your game master know which episode you are playing when you arrive!

“Two (soon to be three) experiences that take place in the same physical space. (An idea which fascinates me from a game design perspective.) The set was just that of an office building - desk, file cabinet, etc. But done completely in black and white, which while a small thing does wonders for the immersion. As does the 1940s soundtrack playing on the radio. You wind up feeling like you’re in a classic Film Noir. Episode 1 felt a little like it was designed for kids. The game game would direct you what to do next at each step. “Now use the clues in these pictures to eliminate two of the suspects…” All of which could be removed as far as I’m concerned and the game would still function well. That said, I’d still recommend playing it. Episode 2 did not have that “hand-holding” vibe at all though. Had a bit of a richer story and some repeat characters, which was nice. Very clever to see the same components used in different ways, as well as how they clued which things to stay away from because they were part of the other case. I will definitely be back for Episode 3.”

The gods have spoken, and a prophecy has been revealed: only the Chosen One can wield the legendary hammer. Deep within an ancient Viking temple, your clan must decipher forgotten runes, uncover hidden secrets, and overcome the trials left behind by the Norse gods. As time runs out, you’ll discover that not everyone is destined to claim the hammer. Only one among you possesses the courage, wisdom, and spirit to become the true champion. Will your team uncover the prophecy and help the Chosen One lift the mighty hammer… or will the legend remain buried forever?

“I thoroughly enjoyed this room. The set is really well done and on theme and I kept looking around, enjoying it long after we finished the room. The soundtrack, audio cues, and lighting enhance the experience. The puzzles were all fun and intuitive. I also like the puzzle paths; the first space has one puzzle and then it becomes non-linear with plenty to work on in the second space. These then converge into one puzzle that gets you into another space where it becomes non-linear again, allowing for the team to split up again, until it once again converges for the final puzzle. I love when rooms do this. It allows you to split up and work in multiple puzzles, but then pulls the team back together again at key points in the game. I would say that this is medium in difficulty. Novices may struggle with a couple puzzles, but enthusiasts will probably be fine. This is definitely a top three room in Reno and arguably number one at this point in time. I highly recommend it.”

“I had a lot of fun in this room, despite it being a very small space. The puzzles were interesting and on theme. The soundtrack and set were great. This is one of three new rooms that Key and Code partnered with Labyrinth in Boise and I was worried that it would be the same as the room in Boise with basically the same name, but I was pleasantly surprised with this room and their Mayan room, that they really stand on their own. The three new rooms are really enjoyable and I recommend them.”
