    Really enjoyed this room. The graveyard set looks great. The set and story (and even some puzzles) have great local flair. The puzzles all made sense. Just good, solid design. It’s a small and relatively easy room, so take a small team.

    The immersive experience begins in the lobby before your game even starts. Your hosts are all in character (and played well). The room itself is filled with “inventions” which are used in the puzzles. (Feels a little like a science museum) as a result of using puzzles based on these real phenomenon, some of them are very finicky, but we we able to get them to do what was needed after enough fidgeting. It’s a small room, which we played with four players. I suspect it would have been better with just two players.

    Set in the same universe as Mystery Gates, but a MUCH better game IMO. So immersive and creepy! Beautiful set, great story. Puzzles all made sense and most were fun to solve. And a couple of nice surprises. Definitely recommend.

    Loved it so much! Keystones 2nd game is even better than their 1st. Gorgeous set design clever (and controllable) puzzles. You interact with your GM in a very cute, fun, funny way, which adds a lot to the experience. And our GM was awesome. Thanks Zach!

    The set design is perfect. I kinda just wanted to hang out in that room for a while. Such a vibe! The gameplay was overall good. With many puzzles that I really dug, and one that drove me nuts (vaguely worded clues turned it into a guessing game. ) Overall though I loved it. 8+ out of 10.

    Excellent room as are all of the games at palaces Escape. Unusual by modern standards in how much you reused the same game elements over and over. But it worked. I loved how the game is designed to require teamwork for many of the tasks. The theme was unusual and familiar at the same time. And of course the set was fantastic. Loved it!

    Great sets, great tech, great story! Weird game. Certainly not for everyone. This was a more story driven experiential game than most. Felt a little like you were being driven through the game rather than driving. (Though pet of that was that I was with a team of 5 really good solvers when I am used to doing most rooms with just 2, so there was a lot less for me to solve myself. ) The pop culture references were an area of disagreement among my team. Some liked them, I found them out of place, and immersion-breaking. I highly recommended everyone play this game, but not until you have maybe 20 escape rooms under your belt. Be familiar with the escape room “rules” before you can enjoy how this game breaks them.

    Incredible set design! One of the most immersive sets I’ve ever seen. The downside to this room was that it was often not clearly signposted what solution went with what lock. The puzzles were all reasonable, but then you had to figure out what to do with the answers by trial and error. A sign of it being an older room. Fix that issue, and this room would be near perfect.

    Amazing game! The story was great. The mechanism for audio clues was great. The use of put-together puzzles was so clever! Just loved the whole experience!
