We've done just about every room at Gatlin's now and this is my 2nd favorite here so far. Its challenging, but the puzzles make sense and flow nicely. Its somewhat linear at times, so don't come with a lot of people as they might get left out.
Gameplay
Very fun and some unique puzzles and some twists on common ones.
Atmosphere
Atmosphere was fantastic. Great sets and great lighting!
Customer service
Our GM was perfect and she asked beforehand if we wanted to be prompted for clues, which we love. Sometimes, we've noticed at Gatlins, the gamemasters try to help a little too much when we could have figured it out, but our gamemaster for Atlantis only helped when needed and gave us the perfect clues to nudge us in the right direction.
Particularly interesting or different

Story
Difficulty
Hard
It was tricky, but it made sense. There is one puzzle that is quite the time suck and if you start off on the wrong foot with it, can spell disaster if you let it get away from you.
Game tech
High tech
I think there was one standard lock in the whole room and it made sense where it was.
Ideal number of players
6
Any more than six would be cramped and I think 6 would be pushing it. We did it with 4 adults and an 8 year old and there was just enough for all of us to move around.
Scary
Not scary
Its not scary, but it is quite dark in areas.

Spoiler: There is a small tunnel that you need to crawl through. There's also a color puzzle and with the lighting in there, can be very tricky if you have color issues.
Accessibility
See above, there is a tunnel that requires one person to crawl through. All other activities should be fine. One color puzzle can be tricky due to lighting.
Easy to find location
Yes
Parking
Medium
While there is no parking directly at Gatlins, there are plenty of paid parking lots around the downtown area within a quick walk of the entrance.
