The Countdown: Covert Ops

It was a very fun room, and really mentally challenging, it was very fun and each part was rather unexpected but still fit together. I do believe a group of 4+ would have a really great time with this room and able to pace it appropriately. However, it is pretty much impossible with only two people and I felt a little discouraged because we were not told that. We did however get a MILLION hints at the beginning (before we felt we needed them) and then towards the end when we were struggling we got NONE and we could hear the GM resetting the part of the room that we couldn’t access anymore. After running out of time the GM expressed that they were VERY impressed we made it as far as we did, since no other group of two had made it past a checkpoint that we surpassed with 6 minutes left. My only other complaint is that some of the effects are SO LOUD that you can’t move on for almost a full minute but add nothing to the puzzles or gameplay, they add to theming and immersion but they could have been a bit more succinct. I waited to write a review because I couldn’t tell if I was bitter about not escaping or if it really was a damper on the experience.

This room was an insanely unique room that truly blew our group away! The storyline, set, and puzzles were incredible in their own way. For a group of 6 who are avid escape room goers, this room was one of the tougher ones. But once you got the ball rolling in each room you got your footing and went on! Fortunately our game master gave us an extra 5 minutes which was exactly what we needed. For a new local room, I’m truly looking forward to the future of this game!

I enjoyed this escape room and I ended up doing it for my birthday! Even with the max amount of people, my friends and I got stuck on the last clue. Even after we were explained it, we were still confused. Besides the last clue, this was 100% the coolest escape room I have ever seen.

we escaped right as our GM walked in. we were a group of 6 who are pretty good at escape rooms. if you have a smaller group or you're not so experienced, I would recommend booking two time slots so you have more time. overall, we absolutely loved the room.

An extremely difficult room, especially for smaller groups. Seems tailored made for groups of four or more to have success. Room is frustrating from start to finish; the theming is wonderful but the things you are doing are often times unintuitive and frankly not a lot of fun. The finale was a total gut punch, basically completely unclued and a disorienting change of pace. Our GM seemed very inexperienced and gave us hints that actively moved us further away from solving.
