The props were amazing. The story is somewhat different but similar to one of the rooms we used to play in. I’m impressed with one puzzle in the room; the rest is ok. Overall, it’s cool but overrated.

Honestly, this is one of my top three favorite rooms of all time. The production value was astounding. I can’t recommend it enough.

Had a great time!! Sophia, our gamemaster, was lovely and quick to explain any issues we had. Only one hint, and some of the scenery could be updated/puzzles made less finicky, but generally we had a great time. Definitely will be back for their other rooms.

Fun little room. Not overly difficult, but a few clever puzzles in it. Plenty of nostalgia in this room as well. Some great 80's themed items make for a great atmosphere. There's some pretty clever usage of tech as well associated with it, using old Ataris, etc. Overall not terribly difficult though, but still a good little room as it was.

Huge room! Unique puzzles that were just the right amount of challenging. Didn’t need any hints and finished easily.

It was fun, though I passed it up multiple times initially, due to the boring pictures listed on the website. Don’t be fooled! The decorations and puzzles are interesting; I can’t recall a single puzzle I’d seen before. As others have said, the ending was pleasantly surprising! It was a tiny bit scary, which I wasn’t expecting. Heads up if you get scared easily or have kids. We did it with a group of 3, which was fine. I usually avoid going over 4-5 since it can get too crowded. Would recommend.

I loved this game! The sets were so well done for the time period the game is set in. The story is super easy to follow with some fun twists and turns. Most of the puzzles were very unique. The game is 100% linear, with 2 people, it was perfect, however I imagine you wouldn’t want more than 4.

The game itself is high tech, but as a player it doesn’t feel like it. It feels more mechanical! The tech really fits the time frame the game is set in.
