Genuinely don't understand the negative reviews for this. Yes, there are tasks to do but they're presented in the form of riddles where you have to figure out exactly how to do said task. I will say a few puzzles in the beginning were not clued well and it did feel a little short.

The story of the room was fun and there were some fairly involved electronic puzzles. Enjoyed the game!

Not quite what you’d expect from an escape room, but they tell you that on their website. It’s a fun, interactive experience with what feels like old school games, but don’t go in expecting mystique, puzzles, locks or clues. It’s more of a step-by-step guide in what to do and what games to play. Not quite what I want from an escape room, but still fun!! The atmosphere prior to the games are amazing though!

Really unique take on a escape room. More like an interactive story. People who live for the puzzles might be a little disappointed though. This room is more about story, atmosphere, and characters. There are things to figure out, but probably a group of 4 would be ideal. A definite don’t miss experience.

Overall it was a positive experience. I would not call any puzzle particularly difficult. Some of them were not as clear but it was an enjoyable time. I don’t think we did anything particularly quickly but we did finish with half our time left according to the GM. There was no clock to monitor time while in the experience unless we brought our own timer. I think this is a fun puzzle for teens or people first starting out on escape rooms. For experienced players, while fun, it might seem short if done too quickly.

I am still trying to understand the hype about this place. These aren’t escape rooms. They are just a few tasks to do in the room. This was one of the worst “Escape Room Experiences” I have ever done

Thanks for taking the time to leave a mission debriefing Operative! We appreciate your assistance with stopping Dr Braingood Jr! We apologize that the experience did not meet your expectations. We hope that you will visit HQ again soon to give us another chance to create a positive mission experience. Each mission we have is completely unique and offers different difficulties, challenges, and storylines. While the vast majority of Operatives rate us highly, we do understand that some groups looking for more traditional puzzles may think otherwise. We feel that our tasks, challenges, and puzzles of our Adventure Games should add to the story and immersion which most traditional escape games do not. We fully understand the appeal to those experiences, but wish to set ourselves apart.

the coolest thing about this place is the “ lobby “ you first walk into when you arrive. definitely not traditional escape room play, everything electronic and it was not enjoyable. there’s a part in the game where you have to sort coffee ingredients and we had to do it blindly because the coffee receipt never printed. you would think the game master would come fix it or help us, especially after we asked 100 times if the receipt was supposed to print since we saw it stuck. not sure if they weren’t paying attention or if they didn’t care, both equally as bad. after the game we asked “ was a receipt supposed to print to help us with the coffee puzzle ? “ and the game master said “ yea “ and i said “ oh well it didn’t and it made us take forever on that puzzle because we had to guess everything “ and she wasn’t apologetic the least bit, she literally said “ oh “. disappointing.

Yesterday, we did all rooms besides UFO. This room was my favorite. Although there was no live actor, it feels as though there was an actor. Such a comical and cute game! Loved it 🧡

while I was impressed by the cool sets and props, I was disappointed with the lack of game flow and puzzles. It felt like there was no clear direction or progression, and I had to repeatedly ask for clues because nothing led to anything. That being said, the facility was clean and the staff were very friendly and accommodating. Overall, while the visuals were impressive, the lack of engaging puzzles and game flow made the experience less enjoyable."

In this mission (slightly spoiler) Operatives will find it significantly easier if you listen to Dr Braingood Jr's instructions throughout.
