A myth! A legend! The lost city of Atlantis was always thought to be nothing more than a story, until now… After years of research, you and your archaeological dive team finished work on a submarine built to recover relics from history’s greatest civilization. But just when the launch date had almost arrived, your boss fired you and the entire crew! Now he’s planning to take the artifacts for himself and sell them to the highest bidder. These priceless treasures belong in a museum, not in the hands of a greedy private collector! The ruins of Atlantis still lie undisturbed at the bottom of the ocean. Are you bold enough to steal the submarine, navigate to the lost city, and retrieve the relics yourself?

The set in this room is super fun and there are no locks or keys. The puzzles are very logical and we encountered some we haven't seen before (which is tough after 500+ rooms). We struggled with the flow in the first room, but we were able to move along faster in the second room, and probably only needed about 30 more seconds to finish to last puzzle when time expired.

Flow isn't great.

Phenomenal room with high tech used very impressively. There’s a lot to do and look at compared to some of their other rooms so keep that in mind with numbers. And bring people that you communicate well with as you’ll be doing lots of shouting, hunting, and describing what things look like.

Gameplay

Game flowed really well, familiar puzzles but done in interesting ways leveraged by the high tech. Flow was really well done. Lots of different types of (cool/interesting) puzzles. There was one puzzle that we wasted lots of time one since there was no clear indication that we had finished it (even though we had), but otherwise it was clear when things were finished/solved. There was also one prop that got used twice which is traditionally not something done (albeit they never said everything is just used once) which caused some confusion

Atmosphere

Phenomenal. Lots of tech, set had a lot of thought out into it. Cool props and immersive for sure

Customer service

As almost always, staff are super friendly and seemingly excited to be there/talk to you about the rooms. The hints also could have been a tad more helpful, but those are always hard to walk the right line of “hint” but not “solution”

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Some of the puzzles I had never seen that type before. The tech was really well done/integrated into the puzzles

Story

Fun story! You understood what was going on the entire time

Difficulty

Hard

We had 3 people and escaped just in time. Lots to do. Lots to look at.

Game tech

High tech

Extensive use of high tech (done well)

Ideal number of players

4 would have been perfect. Lots to look at and do. And one puzzle would have been better with an extra pair of hands
