Permanently Closed - You are Gerard 'Gerry' Droller, a CIA Field Operative, your code name is Don Frederico and you work directly for the President of the United States, J.F. Kennedy. While going over your mission notes, you realize the world is facing a nuclear Armageddon. The Soviet Union, under Premier Nikita Kruschev, has strategically assigned ballistic nuclear missiles to the Cuban territory with approval from the Cuban leader, Fidel Castro. These missiles are located less than 100 miles from the U.S and are able to reach major cities with only a 4 minute flight time. The atmosphere is extremely tense! An American spy plane has just been shot down over Cuba and the President is now under massive pressure from the Pentagon to launch an invasion of Cuba. The President, however, isn’t sure whether the plane was shot down deliberately by the Cubans or the Soviets, or if this was a terrible accident by a lowly soldier. If this was indeed an accident, there is no need to go to war, and a peaceful solution may still be possible. If this was a deliberate action, then the President has no choice but to launch a U.S. invasion of Cuba, which could result in a nuclear war. Your mission is to infiltrate Fidel Castro’s palace, locate the secret KGB office, and find out who was responsible for shooting down the American plane. You are standing outside Castro’s palace waiting to hear that it is empty. You receive the all-clear. Castro’s bodyguards and the KGB are not on the premises. However, having entered the Palace, you receive word that Castro and his bodyguards are traveling back towards the palace, and they are only 60 minutes away! You must complete your mission and escape before you are caught! Solve the clues, answer the riddles, find the critical intelligence and get out within the hour. Rely on your intuition, have confidence in your team and leave no stone unturned! Remember: Your mind is your most powerful weapon and time is of the essence! Do you have what it takes to complete your mission?

Very weirded out that on their brackets they shorten “Cuban Missile Crisis” to just “Cuban Crisis”? A little weird not gonna lie. None of the clues made sense. A major disappointment because I love escapology rooms. DONT recommend.

This is your standard escape room. I actually would say the less players the better because if you have a lot, not as many people can work on things at once. The room is cool, but I think Escapology has better rooms to offer. This is a great room for beginners!

Everyone working here said this was the "easiest" of the rooms available. We escaped, but didn't feel like we got anywhere in terms of the story in the mission description.

This is on the bottom of the list of games here. Several of the puzzles were poorly done. There were definitely some logical leaps as well.

Would not recommend to anyone who has done an escape room. You will be disappointed and wanting more.

Gameplay

Room was very bare. Puzzles we’re not creative and not challenging. When we finished everything we looked around expecting there to be more. Looking around the room they probably put around $500 into the production of this room, with most of that being spent on buying desks from Craigslist. The intro video was copyrighted 2015, so it’s been around a while with no updates.
