Solid escape room with a good variety of fun puzzles. This room is best for a small group that likes to split up to work on a couple of different puzzles.

What a wild room! The puzzles were very crunchy and really makes you think. There was a moment or two when *you* become part of the puzzle.

Gameplay

Pretty challenging! Some puzzles had some neat atmospheric elements to it, and others were pretty out of the box when it came to solving them.

Atmosphere

As an artist and an art nerd, I loved that it took place in a gallery. The mini gallery in one of the rooms was the most exciting to me for the actual artwork alone (and how they were incorporated into the puzzles). A few other sections felt a *little* sterile, but the storyline involves a stuffy billionare, so that checks out, hahah.

Customer service

Love the staff here!

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Shadow work, incorporating yourselves as part of the puzzle, and using artwork for puzzle solving was a neat experience.

Story

It's a heist stealing a priceless painting back from a billionare, what's not to love about that?

Difficulty

Hard

Some of the puzzles were quite challenging, but were so satisfying once we got them!

Game tech

Mechanical

*One* section had lasers, but you don't interact with them if you follow the rules.

This one's crunchy...you could do it with two if y'all are seasoned escapeists.

Scary

Not scary

Not scary, maybe a little tense atmospherically with the explicit instructions of not to touch certain things, or risk of 'tripping the security system'.

Fun room, maybe a little on the easy side but in a good way. Puzzles were fun and intuitive and we just sailed our way through having a good ol’ time.
