This was a fun room with lots of 80s/90s nostalgia. There were tons of Easter eggs to appreciate if you have experience with that era of pop culture, but nothing that requires specific knowledge, which makes it a great room for families. There were a couple of puzzles, in particular, that involved the theme of video gaming in a super fun, practical, engaging way. There were also one or two puzzles where the flow or logic leap wasn't quite as obvious, but the clue system was really effective and in "character". Also, importantly, customer service at this family run escape was great!

Accessibility

Some aspects of the room take place in a space that very much emulate an old-school arcade--low lighting and laser lights, music and game effect sounds, etc. That could be difficult for those with hearing or vision issues, or for those easily overstimulated.

This room is cute. Its just a wholesome retro-game theme that is really nice for families and first timers. It’s mostly basic type puzzles and has a great flow. Nice video game music playing while you are working as well. You really feel like you are stepping into an arcade machine, which even the door is themed which is a nice plus. Also, get ready to start the room from the outside of the door, as you have to find a way in! Overall, pretty fun!

Gameplay

Very linear, and quite simple puzzles but still very enjoyable.

Atmosphere

You step into a room where everything is very colorful and pixelated. It’s nothing crazy but the set gets the job done.

Customer service
Particularly interesting or different

Not too different from your average room, but has a shooting element that is neat and fits with the theme nicely.

Story

Simple, and probably what you expect with a room centered around “Mario”, but it is great.

Difficulty

Easy

4/10 difficulty for experienced players, 6/10 for first timers. Pretty easy :)

Game tech

Mechanical

Mostly mechanical, a few mag locks, and some unique elements.

this room wasn’t very fun. compared to other rooms here it was very poorly made. the flow was ok, but overall i wouldn’t recommend this room i’d say do a different room at unlocked if you’re willing to.

Very cute retro video game themed room. Nothing was super challenging and it was all very linear, but we enjoyed the theme and different elements they included. Great for beginners/families with kids/old school gamers.

Gnarly dude! Designed by enthusiasts for sure. Rated fairly easy, and was linear, but was fun and had some cool throw back moments to the glory of 8 bit gaming. I'd recommend no more than 4 people. Probably 2-3 if your team has any experience.
