    I could see why this game won awards before, but two of the really unique puzzles were broken. Everything else was very… normal. Without those two puzzles working, the price is not justified. I would not recommend this room.

    Not a particularly inspired experience. You could easily change the appearance and call it the Transformers room, or (insert-nostalgic-cartoon-here). It’s okay, but I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone but the folks who just like doing all the escape rooms that are out there for the heck of it. It’s passable.

    A malfunctioning device and an inattentive GM made for an extremely lackluster experience. There was one point where we were asking for hints, but since he lost his walkie talkie, we had no one to help. The fact that he is role playing a specific perspective as your game master also implies that he is a biased source of advice (he specifically made this point before we began). There were times we were stuck on a puzzle and it was no longer fun, but he wouldn’t just give us a straight answer. I’m also not a fan of poorly lit rooms. I could see this being more enjoyable with working machinery and a GM who wasn’t overworked with having to attend multiple escape rooms simultaneously. Overall, terrible experience. I would not recommend this room to a friend.
