    This was my first Palace Games escape room and wow, the production value is so high! “The Attraction” had a really fun storyline and no time limit, so you can slow down and really enjoy the story elements as they play out. The puzzles were easy-medium and a lot of fun to solve in a group. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a cool experience to try!

    The room is pretty beginner friendly and perfect for small groups due to its sequential nature (only 1-2 puzzles active at any given time). The sound effects were pretty startling at first, so just be aware of that going in. Some of the equipment had a bit of wear and tear as well (e.g. faded marks, the clock seemed broken so we had to ask for the time remaining). Overall, it was pretty fun to experience! It was a cool storyline and the game master, Carys, was really committed to the acting. And if you finish early, there’s an extra set of puzzles that gets unlocked!

    I really liked this room! The puzzles were fun but not too difficult and the production value / props is really fancy. The story was a little confusing and we had to keep going back to one room to watch videos to progress the story. But otherwise, I really enjoyed the puzzles and atmosphere of the room. I would recommend 3-4 players for this room. The puzzles are linear and some of the spaces are pretty small, so it would be difficult for more players.

    This was a really fun and immersive room! It’s a 90 minute room, but we were able to complete it with a group of 2 people. I’d probably recommend having 3-4 people though, since some puzzles were more difficult with just 2 people. We just did the Kingdom of Cats room (from Omescape San Jose), so it was fun to do the sequel too. Compared to that room, this one had a lot better cohesion and super thematic puzzles! The puzzles were on the easier side, though some were a little unintuitive. The structure was linear, so having >4 people can become too crowded. Overall, we had a wonderful time and loved the immersion! Our GM, Cesar, was really friendly as well. Too bad he’s leaving Omescape soon, farewell Cesar!

    We had an amazing experience! We did the room with a group of 2 and was able to finish. The structure is pretty linear (i.e. few puzzles active at any given time), so larger groups will probably have trouble as there might be too many cats in the kitchen 😸 The puzzles are cute straightforward and on the easier side. We loved the multiple room setup and cool props - would recommend for beginner groups. We’re looking forward to trying the sequel (Kingdom of Cat-astrophe) next!
