The Gift

We’ve done most of the rooms here. This one might be… second favorite? The design/theme is really fun, just don’t pay too much attention to the story haha. Sometimes the pacing seems off - you can collect lots of stuff, but only one puzzle matters at a time. And one puzzle was a little too ambiguous to interpret. But that being said, this room had some really great puzzles and we really felt like we were committing a heist. Staff was great. Place was clean and welcoming. The Gift is good for casual to experienced players.

This was a fun room. We failed the "Once Upon A Time" room earlier today (not even close to finishing it) so I was pretty nervous about attempting this room which has a higher difficulty rating. The good news is that with six players we were successful! This was my 18th game (13W - 5L) so I still consider myself a novice. The other players in my group (4 adults, 2 tweens) have similar statistics. We played the Christmas version. The room was well decorated and the puzzles were fun. It was mostly non-linear so everyone had something to do.

This was our second room at Red Door and I look forward to playing even more when we travel to another city with their games. I would recommend the rooms at this company to anyone! They’re well made, flow well and super fun. The themes are unique and immersive.

Very fun experience. The theme was pretty fun and the GM took good care of us. This room is fairly challenging but can also be beginner friendly.

One of the locks was already open. It was fun. Good for intermediate players to start, but puzzles towards the end are more advanced.

This is the second game we did here, first being Once Upon a Time. This game was much more fun and balanced than Once Upon a Time. A couple difficult puzzles, but we had a great time. Definitely brute forced a couple puzzles. Would suggest 3-4 max for this room.

Pretty linear, but there was plenty to do. We really loved the solutions to the puzzles. The room itself was very well decorated.

There was a broken part of one of the puzzles that made it virtually impossible to solve. The game master had no clue and we ended up wasting 10 min. Then the game master didn’t believe us until we physically showed her the problem. She had probably just thought we didn’t know how to solve the puzzle. But it was one of those things were If she had been paying any sort of real attention she would have understood the issue and intervened appropriately. Instead we wasted so much time and had to rush through the end instead of being able to enjoy the puzzles. The game me master was defensive about it as well instead of acknowledging her good up when we proved the problem to her at the end

This was the second room we did at Red Door. Our game master Dorothy was really helpful and fun. The room was well themed and the level of puzzles are appropriate. Room is fairly linear. The most difficult part was finding all the items scattered around the room. The final puzzle was pretty unique and used good tech.

The room was cute and definitely easier than the other room we did (Confinement) earlier that day. We felt better knowing we finished a room that day. The website labeled it medium on their page but it was definitely leaning towards the hard difficulty. The puzzles had lots of tech and cute puzzles that led to the other clues. It flowed nicely and led to other parts. It was cool to see how some clues had to be solved, with use of many props. What was interesting that one puzzle was needed to finish the room and we overlooked it. We could have finished quicker, but thankfully the game master nudged us without too much of a hint. I also like how they wanted you to celebrate/indicate you finished the room. The story was then finished and rounded out by the game master and what I found interesting was that all the rooms connected in one way or another.
