The Alchemist

Escape room

This was a cool game with neat puzzles.  We played with 3 adults and 2 kids and it felt fairly easy to get through.

Nothing spectacular at all about this room. In fact I actually contemplated walking out halfway through but my team wanted to stick it out.  I was really frustrated that nothing inspired the next puzzle although it was very much a linear room and things were NOT one and done, we used one item twice.  We spent over 30 min on one puzzle because the planetary and element art all looked the same.  We kept asking for clues from the GM but the clues were vague and unrelated and took forever.  In the final room the GMs left a puzzle in the solved and open position because the item inside needed to be charged but never told us to not worry about trying to solve the puzzle so we were focused on solving but never rewarded because we were handed the device.

Had a lot of fun with this one. Cool set. Flowed well. Decent puzzles. Had a strong smart group so felt easy

When we first walked in we thought we had already played the room. I believe there were some major props and the overall look is the same as the last room in its space but hang tight because it’s all new puzzles and game. Fun and especially liked some pretty tech that comes later in the game

The room reminded me slightly of the one that took up this space before, but the new puzzles were great! Had a fun time and completed it with no hints.
