We’ve done over 135 rooms and are a bit jaded these days, but we really enjoyed this room! Even though it had a lot of 1st gen puzzles, it was still super fun and flowed very well. Totally worth your time if you enjoy this theme! We went as a team of 4 (2 enthusiasts and 2 newbies), and we did not rush to get through it (e.g., we avoided dividing and conquering too much because this way everyone gets to see/work on all the puzzles/games and no one misses out on parts of the room). The atmosphere was perfect, and we enjoyed the variety of puzzles. We loved that there was very minimal search-and-find, and there were no red herrings or time-wasting tedious tasks. The game master/game show host is inside the room with you, but they totally respected our wishes for no hints and just smiled at us to keep the positive energy going while letting us do our thing. Overall, we loved this room and would highly recommend it for newbies and enthusiasts alike!

Bonus Fun Time was a great Gen 1 room. The puzzles were varied and unique, and the overarching "game show" theme was very well executed. The only things that bring this room down are typical gen 1 problems - lots of padlocks (very little answer overlapping between locks, thankfully) and a well-worn set. Definitely a worthwhile stop if you are in the area!

It’s a very low-tech room overall, but it was very fun and engaging nonetheless. The only real complaint would be the linearity of the puzzles past a certain point, but that’s a minor problem at most.

The game master is always in the room, giving a very different experience from most other impersonal “man behind the curtain” GMs.

My favorite of their 4 experiences! Who wouldn’t want to be on a game show? Had some unique puzzles I haven’t seen before. Don’t miss this room!

It felt like an older room, but the overall experience was good for a 1st gen/2nd gen room. I love the 70s vibe and one of the puzzles near the end was one of my favorite ever.

Puzzles

A lot of number puzzles, but done in a unique way.
