    Good guys who built a nice room. It’s a gen 1, so don’t expect mind blowing entertainment, but overall not bad. The kids and fun and that’s enough for me. A few puzzles that didn’t get used, so something was probably broken and they had to bypass, but otherwise smooth experience.

    Fun room. Overall, so nice challenges. Was a bit on the easy side but not a walkthrough. My biggest issue with the room that made it a like and not a love was the use of a jigsaw puzzle. I hate those and see them as only existing to eat up time. Just a personal preference. The puzzles were thematic and everything looked like it belonged.

    Fun room. A bit on the easy side and very low tech. Still fun with plenty for everyone to do. Very intuitive puzzle flow. Game master was excellent.

    Amazing set design. Fun puzzles (mostly). Almost great. This would be an amazing escape room if it were 2 escape rooms. It is, on purpose, too difficult / long. We made it to the last room when time expired. There were 12 more non-linear puzzles in the final room. The game master told us that most people don’t even make it to the last room. Some groups come back 3 or 4 times in order to complete it. This is a feature, not a bug. Great fun, but if you want to see the ending, be prepared to play it multiple times. Biggest complaint- there is a jigsaw puzzle element that cannot be circumvented. This is 100% a time sink and serves no other purpose and was in no way fun for us. Imagine everyone sitting on the floor doing nothing while 1 or 2 other people struggle with a jigsaw puzzle for 15 minutes.

    Started out strong but came to a grinding halt once we hit the broken puzzle. Even once the game master triggered the puzzle for us after proving that we solved it properly, the next step was anything but intuitive. Then it got better again until the end. At the very end, there are several unrelated puzzles mashed together and basically made us just not care anymore. We felt we were fighting the room rather than playing it. Which is unfortunate, because we LOVED the other 3 games we played from this company.

    Really nice room. Lots of interesting puzzles. Didn’t find any overly difficult. Nice décor. Overall we (4) had a great time and didn’t get stuck anywhere for too long. One thing to note - this room is not accessible to mobility impaired.

    Fun little room. Plenty of little things going on, but don’t expect a major challenge. The only down side to it was one particular dexterity style puzzle that alone one person at a time can attempt. This is a full stop instance as there’s nothing else for other to work on as everything lead up to it and you can’t continue until after it. That’s said, still great fun overall. The audio to / from the GM did not work (you can still talk to the GM via a telephone on the wall). This was a huge blessing as we got to play with zero hints, clues, or nudges. Very, very nice to play that way.

    Setting was nice and the set was very thematic. They game felt nice; however, it was not a good game. Several things were broken. The GM had to interject with what should have happened and then (I suppose) manually trigger things. Most of the puzzles made no logical sense. While neat, there was never a logical connection as to why they were there. I’m pretty sure there were at least 2 puzzles that we skipped right over. If they were to fix everything, I’d say you might have something to go with. As is, I’d have to give it a big not recommend.

    Very underwhelming. If this is your first room, you will probably have a great time. Very short and very easy. Had an okay time, but certainly did not get my money’s worth.

    Incredible. Not as hard as we made it out to be.
