Does “hardest” mean puzzles designed to waste the most time?

Despite the negative reviews, we did not mind this room! We barely escaped however with only two people and only used two clues!

The room itself wasn’t as terrible as the reviews. However, reading others experiences before tackling this room was helpful. We didn’t get any clues that were overwhelmingly helpful, but knowing that there are tons of locks, lots of switches, helped us prepare a bit for what was ahead. This game wasn’t nearly as hard as it seems to be, it’s the amount of puzzles that need complete. Needless to say, we had 4 seconds left when we finished so it was close. Someone else said it, but paper and pencil would’ve helped.

It’s not hard, just tedious. Super dark, a million locks, and hard to see places. It’s not a good room, not a good design, and it didn’t feel fun. Just irritating. Whole time I thought to myself oh great another lock

Providing teams with pencil and paper or a marker and dry erase board would make a TREMENDOUS difference in this room. We missed escaping by probably 2 - 3 minutes, and had we had something to write on we would have escaped. Overall this room is definitely hard, but it isn't impossible. What makes it exponentially more difficult is not being able to write down things. When you're trying to remember a series of 9 things, you lose time going over it again and again. Our game master was very helpful and walked us through how the game would have ended. We hate not completing rooms, and - yes, I'm beating a dead horse - had we had pencil and paper we absolutely would have escaped. The room was actually not as "bad" as we expected given the reviews.

10/10 difficult is a good way to describe it

This game was a lot of fun. The puzzles were fairly easy if you frequent escape rooms. While the puzzles are easy, they are very time consuming. We had to wait before inputting certain codes in (we were instructed to ask if the codes were correct before doing them) we wasting 30 seconds each time just trying to get the game masters attention.

Seriously…I could make a better escape room with the cardboard boxes that starving African kids get with the left over t-shirts from the losing Super Bowl team every year. Absolute train wreck. Top 3 worst games I have ever played.

Fun game, spending a good majority of your time in the dark, just the right amount of jump scares, and some grossly interactive things to feel. Very difficult room though but we did make it on the leaderboard back when we completed it!
