This room was very fun! It was pretty difficult for 2 people but it was so immersive and unique. The storyline also played a big part in the game which was exciting!

Gameplay

This experience was unique and had a solid (yet challenging) game flow.

Atmosphere

All elements of this game were immersive. My personal favorite segment was the first room which was super mysterious and cool.

Customer service

When we got to the business, it wasn’t open yet even though it was less than ten minutes until our room. Once a game master showed up they were super nice and helpful though!

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Very unique premise with a couple of twists and turns.

Story

The premise was different from any that I’ve seen in the past. The plot played an integral part in this game and that was exciting!

Difficulty

Hard

This room was relatively difficult, especially with only two players. We had to get a lot of hints but we did escape!

Game tech

High tech

There were some physical locks but there were also a lot of technical elements.

Ideal number of players

6

Depending on the location you attend, the size of the experience may vary but I think 4-6 people would be a good amount for this room.

Scary

We had to have help from the game master when one of the technical elements of the game malfunctioned.

Fantastic room. Escape Game is always great at combining both well thought out puzzles with great immersion and set design and this might be their best.

Certainly one of the best escape rooms I’ve played. Great atmosphere, puzzles, and just overall gameplay. Only damper on my experience was that we may have had too many people. I’d say try to play with 4-5 people.

It was a fun room and very creative. We had a group of 7 and that was too many people as some just stood around. Destiny was a good game master and we enjoyed the room.

This game was fun but I feel like there was a lot of wasted opportunity with some of the objects and clues. I just which there was more to the game. The game was good, it just wasn’t anything that stood out for me. Though if you are new to escape rooms this may be a good one for you to try I. The beginning.

Atmosphere

The design was cool and I love how they used random objects as a cool way to figure out a problem that involves up and down buttons.

Customer service

The staff was wonderful

Another spectacular game. It’s basically two completely different themes combined into one game. The one downside about this one is all of the virtual puzzles. There are several screens in the second half of the game with self contained virtual puzzles. I always prefer physical puzzles to this. Still a definite play

Wowww totally unexpected and very very neat room. Lots of twists and I totally had a different vision as to what it would be about. Lots of puzzles to keep you busy, good use of tech, just really cool all around. You will love it!

Daniel if you get him as a game master is super friendly, great to talk to

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Oh yea definitely unique compared to the other 56+ I have done

Story

Definitely a well themed room with a solid plot. Something I wasn’t expected and not your every day typical story that gets replayed and reused.

This escape room feels like two separate experiences linked together by plot. I personally enjoyed the first half more. The second half becomes very high tech, and it’s just not my personal jam. The second half is impressively high tech, though some of the puzzles feel like trial and error. The second half also becomes tricky to find stuff to do if you’re a bigger group, given the focus required on the main puzzles

We were paired with the sweetest family of first time players. The dad brought his 3 kids, and they were all excited and inquisitive about escape rooms. As seasoned players, it was fun to share what to look for me help teach the kids how to find clues. The room is immersive and the reveals are genius! Just a blast!
