Carnival of the CosmosEscape From St. LouisEscape roomIRLWe had a great time! The theming was very cute; it definitely had the vibes of an old carnival. The puzzles were good. They start out straight forward, increase in challenge/complexity as you go, but never get overly frustrating. Our GM, Joni, did a great job keeping us on the right track without ever spoiling the juiciest bits of the puzzle solving. We look forward to doing another room at Escape from St. Louis soon!
Western Bank HeistEscape the Room - RittenhouseEscape roomIRLThe gamemaster was good and the room had a few fun features but there were two issues that would make me not recommend: 1. The code to one of the locks as something we stumbled onto almost by accident and it caused us to accidentally trigger some of the room too early. The GM talked us away from that part so it wasn't a big deal, but it shouldn't have happened at all. 2. There is a puzzle that's just... horrid. It isn't a thinking puzzle. You know exactly what needs to be done but the physical mechanics to make it happen are so rough. It was very frustrating. They need to change that particular piece. We did end up finally getting it but we weren't having fun by that point.
