Escape room

It was ok. We didn't have enough people to be split into 2 rooms so it felt like we didn't get the full experience as some have were just marked as done

This is an interesting room - you’re split into two teams and play a game show against each other. You try to complete more challenge than the other in order to win. The game show challenges were somewhat fun, however it was a little disappointing that winning doesn’t really matter, the points you accrued don’t matter, and the bigger escape is revealed after. It’s an interesting and unique theme though so I commend them for going outside the box and not doing an Egyptian or sherlock Holmes-esque room that is so overdone at this point at other escape rooms.  Some puzzles were pretty difficult so I recommend at least 6 people for this room.

STORYLINE SPOILERS 

Overall, we found this to be a fun and clever room. It starts off as thought you are in a game show playing against your fellow team members, in teams labeled blue or red. 
Since there were only 2 of us in my group, we were both placed in one room and were essentially competing against an imaginary opponent in the other room. 

I believe this concept works better with a slightly larger group, that way you can compete against your friends. As it was just the two of us “competing” against the computer, we were a little confused with what we were supposed to be doing. We played some of the games, and eventually got the hang of it, but as a small group the concept fell a little flat. 

Eventually the game takes a turn and we found ourselves  in the more familiar ER part of the game. This section of the game was fun, and some of the puzzles were challenging, but relatively short compared to the average ER as a lot of time is spent in the “game show” section. 
While we had fun, I would rank this room just slightly above average and would recommend trying another room at this location instead. 

Having said that, different individuals  may be more (or less) attracted to this unique type of game.

I took a work group here on a team outing and we had a great time. There is more going on here than it first seems, but honestly, if it was nothing more than what it appears to be at the outset, it would still be a lot of fun. I still tell people about this room years later. Although I normally prefer to go into escape rooms with the smallest possible number of players, I think 4-6 actually is the right number of people for this room. Highly recommended.

A game designed to split your team up against each other. Interesting and different escape room concept.
