From 2016: Very good set dressing; Was maybe a bit tight for six people; Two rooms, unlocking a secret passage between the two; Good technology, where doing one thing would unlock something else

This was simply a delightful room, with the joy and visual sparkle of Willy Wonka around every corner...with some nice surprises waiting to be sprung on you.

Review from 2015: We kind of got lucky on this one. We had to choose which 4 of 8 buttons to push (70 or so different combinations) and we guessed right. Was the first real "Escape Room" I've done, as you do have to find two keys to escape. Good mechanics. Thought we scraped out a win, but learned that over 80% of players solve it. Hrm.

The Panic Room 3 - St Georges Centre

It wasn’t a particularly exciting room, but had some decent puzzles. I was also feeling quite ill during it, so that may factor in to my lack of enthusiasm. Largely takes place in a room looking like a generic office space. Tough for a solo player, as many puzzle paths can be explored simultaneously.

Your mission is to lay the ghost of a Pharoah to rest in the Egyptian exhibit of a museum. Overall, nothing really stood out here...and what could have been a fun climax was just...meh. This is a good example of Morty needing a score somewhere between Dislike and Like.

This was a delightful, narratively driven room. Everything just elegantly flowed, from one puzzle to another. Slightly spooky, without even coming near "creepy." I don't think I've done a room where I've had such a sense of calm wash over me as I played.

From 2016: The set-up was interesting, as my four friends were each locked in a cell and handcuffed, while I was handcuffed to the warden's desk and had the most range of movement and had to work to get everyone free; However, there wasn't much puzzle solving, and the puzzles were mostly physical. A nice secret room, however, that I hadn't expected.

Kind of a hybrid between your standard "prison break" room and your standard "kidnapped by a crazy person" room. Further support for my thinking that Morty needs an "It was Fine" rating option. This was okay, no huge challenges (although we needed a hint to look for something hidden in a certain area), and no major logical leaps (just one slight one). I think someone who was new to Escape Rooms would enjoy it more than a seasoned pro.

Heard great things about it…but “merely liked it.” Once we cleared the first area, it started to flow much better. Definitely a unique…and quite physically demanding…experience.

I really enjoyed this, and I can count on one had how many >60 minute games I’ve done. The set design was great and I really enjoyed the overall experience. Very few mechanical locks, which was great as I was having trouble at this location with physical locks in relatively dim light. Only complaints were poor hints on the puzzle on the first door…and that I was deathly ill and needed to step out partway through.
