    Terrible, what a joke! Please please please know this is not an escape room but an -experience-. Universal built these experiences as a bunch of rooms meaning they can have multiple parties playing at once. An incredibly smart idea on paper, but not in reality. You are rushed through rooms. While you’re in the middle of a puzzle an automated voice tells you they’ve solved it and you move on to the next room, as otherwise you will be holding up the next party. Extremely demotivating and just annoying. The music and ambient sounds are way too loud and distract from the recordings needed to solve the puzzles. It’s expensive and not worth it. It feels like Universal wanted to jump on the brand wagon but failed miserably. Stay away as you will leave frustrated. We had high expectations but those were not met in the slightest.

    The storyline is fun but the puzzles are not. I had a good time but I wouldn’t come back for this room.

    Excellent example of what an escape room should be. Enthusiastic owner that mentioned he creates a lot of the elements himself. Great use of technology and good theming of the room. There are puzzles in there that will even surprise those who play escape rooms often. This is a great room, I definitely recommend!

    This room was nice, some unusual puzzles but not too challenging. This is a great room for beginners and would give you a great idea of what an escape room is all about, however, I would not recommend this room to experienced escapers. It just isn’t challenging enough.

    This was a fun and easy to get through escape room. The theming is ahead of your standard USA escape room. Keep in mind that the spaces itself are relatively small. I liked the use of technology.

    YES! I loved this room. Although the puzzles are pretty straightforward the storyline makes sense and is a lot of fun. There are definitely elements that you will not find in other escape rooms, I won’t spoil it 😝. I loved the use of technology in this room. Would definitely recommend!

    Amazing! My favorite escape room to date. I urge everybody to experience Kamer 237. Especially if you are used to American style escape rooms. This room will keep on surprising you.

    Good room which should be the standard for other USA rooms. The storyline was not incorporated well. Puzzles were common in other rooms but still fun. There was a great flow. There is a ‘bonus’ element in the room which was not explained to is prior to starting. This confused us as we ended up not needing it to finish the game. Overall: great room far better than the average USA one!

    Disappointing to say the least. Puzzles are extremely difficult and not logically constructed. Although the storyline is pretty cool, you do not feel like you are part of the story in any way. The staff was a disappointment: they had no passion for the game whatsoever. Numerous times we tried to contact them while in the room without response. Would not recommend.
