Jail Break

This room was very disappointing. I always have an open mind, even though we saw poor reviews before we went. The room is not immersive at all, the entire top is open and you hear the radio music very clearly for the staff. Almost everything had stickers proclaiming not to take apart etc-which is understandable but this was excessive. There was no flow to the puzzles and several puzzles seemed like they were irrelevant to the story. There was really no real story to it. The clue system was terrible. You had to knock on the wall in a certain spot to get their attention, after multiple attempts with no response we had to walk out of the room (more than once) to find no one was there manning the desk. The clues were generic on laminated note cards and were given to us as clues even though we solved the puzzles already. Then they just yelled through the door to give another clue. It was a poorly designed system. Absolutely no tech or effort put into this room. The staff seemed like they didn’t know much about escape rooms and haven’t even participated in any rooms before.

This has probably been the worst room I’ve been in. I had fun, but you’re not really in a room. There’s a gap in the ceiling so you can hear everything going on outside. We could hear reggae music was playing because that’s what the staff was listening to - I imagine if there were multiple games you could easily hear the room next to you. It’s very low tech with just locks and keys. There’s not even a real count down clock. If you need a clue, you’re supposed to knock on a marked spot of the wall and they’ll slide a note to you or just communicate it out loud. Our game master just offered hints without us asking. I think these rooms are good if you’re new to escape rooms, but it’s definitely not worth the money if you’re a more seasoned vet.
