    The facility is a little hard to find, in a one-way street accessible through a neighborhood and hidden in the back of a house-turned-business-park. They let you in 5 minutes before your start time, and if you haven't done waivers you will need to fill them out quickly while rules are being given (which I disliked, as I hadn't been sent a waiver by my group organizer and could not focus on both the rules and the waiver, and I missed some of the room details). The room itself was fun. The GM had a character and engaged with us in an immersive manner. There were a fair number of padlocks, unfortunately, but also some more unique puzzles, including several cool alchemy puzzles and a twist on a common code puzzle I quite enjoyed.The room was linear, but also fairly challenging, as we had a group of 8 and only about 3 minutes left when we succeeded. I liked the in-character hint system as well. The GM took a photo with one of our devices, and told us our official time, but those details were not sent to us afterwards.

    I was torn on the review of this room. There were parts I liked and parts I did not. The set started fairly immersive (it really looked like a hotel lobby), but some construction choices in the second half broke my immersion. The puzzles were a mix - some made sense in the context of the room (fix the elevator), while others seemed rather unrealistic (put magnet near random object). The deal breaker for me were the red herrings. One is simply a minor jump scare (no other purpose), one is a piece of translatable text that has no meaning (despite other translatable text being important), and one is a key that goes to nothing. The coolest part is the elevator, but it is pretty cramped in there with 4 people.
