There were a couple broken puzzles, and one where the game master had to actually come in to fix it. A few others the game master gave us clues without us even asking because they were such a stretch. Set design was cool. Love Maze Rooms in LA, but this was one of their weaker rooms IMO.

Had a great time in this room, harder than anticipated but definitely doable with 3 people.

As someone who doesn’t have a history of enjoying fantasy themed rooms, I really enjoyed this room. It didn’t feel too fantastical until you venture into the later rooms. The puzzles themselves were fun, and linear. Due to the linearity, I’d suggest no more than three people in the group. The GM was amazing, we requested no nudges unless asked and the request was respected. This room is an older room so some the puzzles were quite specific in the interactions required due to the technology at the time. Overall a great room.

This room was alright. The Game Guide was not my cup of tea. He was a bit aggressive with another group that was doing a room at the same time as us and it rubbed me the wrong way. The room was extremely basic but got ruined by the Guide chiming in a bit too much or seemed to be trying to be a part of our group. Overall, was not a fan of the room due to the staff.

The room was pretty decent and immersive. They just recently renovated it so most of the stuff were in good shapes. I liked the variety of the puzzles and how they integrated into the story. They did some modifications and increased the difficulty level, so I feel like it’s perfect for 2 experienced players.
