Decent room but probably was due a makeover / fix up when we got there. Experience was spoiled by what seems like a previous group changing a padlock code (GM had to actually break the lock). Other than that, ok room.

Little bit tired and needing some fixing up when we played.

Looks like a previous group changed the code on the padlock cos the GM couldn’t even open it so had to break in.

You should try just for the experience but It wasn’t one of the best.

Gameplay

It didn’t flow too well. A lot of the puzzles need to be re-painting. Not all puzzles work right away and it makes you not wanna try again and you have to wait for a clue to know you didn’t finish the puzzle. The theme was good but not executed quite correctly.

This was the 3rd escape room I ever did, and now over 125 rooms in, still one of the most satisfying end puzzles for me. Overall, a fun room with a variety of challenging but not frustrating puzzles.
