The Observatorium

This is a quality game with very logical puzzles. The whole group can be engaged at the same time. Being a public game on a cruise can significantly impact your experience. You’re on Morty reading this so you’ll probably have to lead your group and do most of it.

Just know this not a private room unless you have a big group to take all the slots. With that said, it was a decent experience and we enjoyed ourselves. Yes, there's a lot of inexperienced players but it's a good one to get your feet wet. We had a mixed of both new and seasoned players and it was nice to see those who had not done an escape room before happy to have solved the room. The GM was friendly and did throw out hints to help as time moved on but I was fine with that. With a lot of people it can be a bit of a cluster and with all different skill levels it's probably best to help the group escape than not. Overall, if you keep your expectations low and just be there to help solve a number of puzzles for entertainment, I think it's a well worth hour of your time while on the cruise.

It’s a fun game to play, but on a cruise ship you encounter TONS of people wanting to pass the time who have never played a room before. Kind of a dumpster fire if there’s too many kids in the room. Beautiful decor, immersive, interesting puzzles, although there’s not really a rhyme of reason to it all other than having things to do on a ship.

The guides can give way too many unsolicited hints, so warn them beforehand not to. The production value was great but the room could have used 2-3 more puzzles.

Like many of the other Royal Caribbean escape rooms the set dressing was fantastic. Puzzles varied and you are in a random group of people (no private rooms, which is ok with me as sometimes who I am traveling with doesn't like escape rooms). Room looks similar to others on the Voyager class of ships and is in the same location on the ship but the puzzles are different and entertaining.
