    Truly enjoyed it. Hosts were welcoming and friendly. We kept forgetting about the time aspect as we worked together (father and adult daughter) at a mostly relaxed, methodical pace (the 🐢 and the 🐌). Teamwork is necessary, which adds to the fun. Puzzles were generally locks to solve. Most things had a purpose. A bit more decor would be nice, even as a red herring, but it was consistent with its theme. After we were exiting the first room, we realized half our time had already elapsed. We got a surge of realizing we needed to pick up the pace, but promptly forgot about it a minute or so later. When we went to the third room, our realization of time reemerged with about 8 - 9 minutes left. Once, again, we got a surge of time motivation as we began to wonder if we would fail, but we made quick work of the last room and finished with 4+ minutes remaining. Logically, everything made sense; there were no leaps of faith or thematic disconnects. Would definitely recommend for a fun, cooperative experience. Probably ideal for 2 as puzzles were largely sequential in progression and availability.
