    The staff member we first encountered was lovely. She was welcoming and helpful, but at some point our game master switched and he wasn’t paying attention to us. We had to ask for a few clues a couple times and it took a while before he responded. And there were some times our team members had asked about something to the group but very long after he responded. At the end usually game masters do a short debrief, but he just enthusiastically asked if we wanted a picture and ushered us out. It felt as if he had the closing shift and wanted us out of there. The puzzles themselves were pretty good but the game mastered soured our experience :-/ I thought the design was interesting and felt immersive. It did seem like the lighting was moreso to make things a little more difficult, but enjoyed the ambiance overall.

    The staff was very welcoming. We came in and they were running behind so we had to wait a bit, but the staff were attentive to us and apologetic. The flow was choppy with a couple puzzles that weren’t very intuitive. The operator told us “yeah everyone gets stuck on the wheel puzzle; it usually needs like ten minutes to work through”. And even the pieces that did fit, didn’t do so very clearly. Very frustrating. All of the other puzzles were solvable and pretty good, but that wheel was not a good puzzle. We had 2 people, but I would say max 4. 5 or more may be a bit crowded as the room was a bit small, but decor was immersive, very cool explorer theme, but very low light, even though they do provide a small flash light.
