This one was just okay for us - maybe a 6-6.5/10. It took the two of us the full 100 minutes, mostly because some of the puzzles were fairly time-consuming. We’ve done a few 70-minute escape rooms nearby that managed to pack in a lot more, so it felt like a bit of a letdown, especially given how expensive it is for just two players (almost $190).
The room is fairly lock-heavy. The puzzles are logical (and one involved a neat effect we hadn’t seen before), but some honestly felt pretty tedious. Overall, nothing felt particularly surprising, clever, or exciting in this room, although it’d be good for a smaller group that likes to divide and conquer since different puzzles can be worked simultaneously.
I think our expectations were probably just too high based on the length/cost of the room and the preferences we’ve developed after playing other local rooms. The puzzles are solid enough, but if you like the “extras” of hidden spaces, mechanically-active puzzles, or unique props, they’re not really here. If you prefer more “think”-type rooms, where you’re mostly solving a math or symbol puzzle (or even just a regular jigsaw puzzle) to get a number or word code for a lock, it’ll be right up your alley.
Our GM Katie was excellent.
