Great room with some novel surprises at the beginning that really felt immersive and fun! There's plenty of mechanical puzzles (which I personally think are fine) alongside high tech components I haven't seen elsewhere. You'll be split into 2 groups to start, but you'll have means to communicate. When you get back together, there's lots of multi-linear puzzles in the shared space. Our group of 8 was able to spread out and keep everyone fairly engaged, but I think 6 might be even better if you're all experienced. This was a really fun room and definitely worth it if you're in the area!

Lots of mechanical locks but the beginning and some of the later elements are very high tech!

6-8 people is probably the sweet spot

Spooky
Some unexpected surprises in the beginning can be a bit scary, but the overall theming is not frightening.

Was anything broken?
Yes
We were warned going in that the phone is temperamental, but it was completely inoperable for us. The game guide noticed and gave us the necessary information to proceed before we got stuck or lost time to it though. The rest of the room worked great!

The beginning requires you to be steady on your feet or at least be good at holding onto something.

There's one puzzle that may potentially be an issue for colorblindness, but otherwise, it seems pretty accessible.
