I had a group of 4 and I’d say that that’s a good group size for an experienced group, I would say anything up to 7 would fit the room well especially if you have experience. We had a great time and the puzzles really promoted thinking and were very teamwork based. We loved it.
Gameplay
Some of the mechanics were new to me and really awesome to experience, we had a lot of fun on the heavy team work puzzles.

This room was great and had some special aspects that made the game particularly interesting. Out of all of the room certain quickly the scape this would not be the first I would recommend but it is definitely a must play if you’re in the area. The staff were friendly and kind and really cared about how the customer felt in the space. I would definitely recommend going to encrypted escape for all of their rooms including this one.
