Houdini's Lounge

Very basic, lots of combo locks, not much storyline. The puzzles were mostly easily solved, a couple took some thought. The tablet they mount on the wall is pretty useless except for a timer. The hint system needs an upgrade. Our "game master" was not friendly or enthusiastic.

Upon entering, a teenager in a TMNT tee shirt greeted us. She showed us to our room, let us in, and said our time starts on the tablet. We learned there's a hint button on the tablet, but the hints are pre-set so if you're too far into the room you'll get hints relating to previous puzzles or you'll only get set hints that may or may not help you progress. As for the room itself, this room is PURELY lock and key. The solutions are easily solvable, with pretty obvious answers save maybe two puzzles that took a little bit of thought. All in all, a simple and mildly by-the-book escape room that lacks uniqueness.
