Mystery of the Mad Scientist

I’ve done a ton of rooms in Orlando and while this wasn’t quite up to snuff with the more immersive and creative rooms I’ve done, this is a solid room that flows nicely. The theme of is there but a bit tacky at times. For a small mom-and-pop escape room this was a very fun experience! The gameplay is balanced, fun, and followable. There are some portions where you can branch out and do multiple puzzles at once too which is cool! Lots of locks and codes is a huge downer as it’s sometimes hard to figure out what code goes where and why but clues help to guide you. None of the puzzles are particularly long or complex; this room definitely chooses quantity over difficulty but everything in the room is useful to the puzzles which is very nice. I’d come back and do another room here. Not a go-out-of-your-way experience but definitely fun despite lacking in some of the more techy, immersive, or difficult elements that I value

Lots of reading required. Good communication imperative. None of the puzzles are hard at all. Solve riddles, divide and conquer, and don’t ignore any piece of info you are given. If you do all of that it’s almost too easy but the challenge is in executing the above. Good concept and very well maintained props and room. Some technical elements but mostly locked boxes/drawers and finding keys or combinations to lead to the next one.
