Dark DungeonLost LocksEscape roomIRLGreat room for a change from typical rooms. Wouldn't go with more than 4 as you'd run out of space. Not many clues but it being pitch black is enough.
The Cursed PassageOtherWorld HQEscape roomIRLDidn't love this. The woman on the desk and acting game master was really off putting. Assumed her complete lack of facial expression, cherrless monotone and several second delay to answering any question was part of an act, but I think she just doesn't enjoy her job. A lot of the puzzles involve tapping things but the response from a tap was variable so it didn't always trigger which was frustrating. Its also not always clear on whether you've finished a room/been timed out but the next room isn't open yet. Some rooms you're just standing there. I think it's a nice idea but just not executed that well. It clearly took a lot to put together the rooms, but the individual puzzles feel cheap and if they were in one room would just be boring
R18Lost LocksEscape roomIRLThe theme is well done and the room is fun, but disappointingly short and not that tricky. We had great fun but just went in to mess around without much focus on tackling the puzzles and it only took 17 minutes. That said, we do a lot of rooms
사라진 황제 [Materia Medica]Breakout HongdaeEscape roomIRLThey have a concept of having different characters with abilities, it's pointless and just requires extra explanations. It's not a bad idea all together, but it is poorly executed/utilised. The room isn't great. It's linear puzzles but there's not actually anything in the room to give you clues, you just solve the puzzle. This means it becomes a lot more like a table top or computer based escape room as the actual room becomes a bit redundant. The first puzzle annoyingly has no clues and you either know how it works or you don't. You can't really puzzle it out, the hint is just the answer. The 6th puzzle makes no sense at all. It makes no sense with a hint, it makes no sense with the answer and it makes no sense with the explanation of the answer. I have no idea what on earth they were getting at. Other than that the clues were straight forward. Which means the whole room was unsatisfying as it's a combination of frustrating and a bit boring
