78 escape rooms
A very creative subversion of a "spaceship" escape room with a comedic angle that pokes fun at low-cost airlines and, ostensibly, cheap corner-cutting capitalism. The puzzles are fun and varied: a nice mix of observation, pattern matching, logic, dexterity, and 2-player cooperation. There wasn't a single puzzle that blew my mind, but my favorite one was, as usual, the logical one involving solving some simple linear equations to find out the price of some snacks. What I really appreciated about this room and why I really think it deserves a "heart" was the theme and the effort put into keeping it consistent throughout the game. The humor is of the raunchy low-brow variety: filled with 69 and ass jokes, but also very self-aware. There is a lot of "story" material: videos that play on the screen, an app, and instruction books/magazines filled with throwaway lines. Almost makes you want to stop the timer and read everything just to take in the whole atmosphere. Here's to finding more escape rooms like this with creative themes and not just riffs on already-trodden ground!
