Al Capone's Den

fun, but 2 puzzles didnt work, helping us get out in 22 minutes kinda took the fun out of it

Walking in we got the feel of an apartment set in the early part of the 1900's. We were given instruction that we needed to find evidence that the famed mobster Al Capone was running a bootleg outfit. Our role, we were detectives and only had an hour to get the evidence. Our group was able to shift through the belongings in this old apartment. The majority of our search was to find keys or combinations to open locks. At first, we had a few keys and had a hard time matching them with the locks. The game was mostly linear. Which in this case wasn't bad exactly. The placement of locks and clues did keep us busy until everything started to fall into place. Multiple puzzles were physical. There was a decent blend of tech mixed into the room to not make it boring and keep a few things fresh. There were some interesting surprises in room design and clue distribution. Our party of four were able to search the room independently and in small groups to get what we needed to progress. We were a little stumped near the end. But we will admit we did have to guess solve the last lock to make it out in time. Overall it was our first experience at this location and we would like to go back and see what other challenges we could face there.

Love the tech elements in this room and the unexpected transitions are always a blast.
