I thought this was relatively fun - I liked the theme and had a good time, but the room was definitely a little outdated. Some of the puzzles required pretty big logic leaps. Overall, glad I didn’t but not my favorite

This is the first time I did NOT escape an escape room since the very first time I did one. But the extreme difficulty is a result of severe jumps in logic masked by an egregious number of red herrings, namely in the final room. The elements that all come together to form the final puzzle are obtuse and frustrating, and arriving at it also requires a certain level of precision that is very difficult to arrive at. And although we had a GREAT GM, the pre-loaded hints we received were confusing as well. I have to say I did not enjoy this room

Another bad and outdated room from this company. Very few puzzles and some of them were very big stretches as to what the answer actually was. When asked how we felt about the game we gave our honest opinion and were then basically told we were wrong and that people love this game. It was a very interesting experience, but I really would not recommend this room at all. Also I watched the owner treat the staff with disrespect numerous times, even yelling at them. I couldn’t recommend this place less.

Set went from ok to a bit strange. Puzzles were generally frustrating, and this room had one of my least favorite escape room puzzles ever. Escape the Room has many good rooms - this was not one of them.
