26 escape rooms
Great room with challenging and interesting puzzles. I am always a fan of rooms with a good backstory and reason for “escaping”, and this certainly delivered. However, one of the puzzles was particularly time-consuming which slightly detracted from our overall experience. This room was highly enjoyable and clever- puzzles required more observation rather than critical thinking, which was fascinating to experience. However, what was interesting to me is that there was no way to tell how much time had elapsed, and no way to know how much time was left (even after asking the game master who refused to tell us). Upon reflection, I did actually enjoy this, as we were more focused on enjoying the experience and solving the puzzles at our own pace rather than stressing about the time. Overall, a fantastic experience- would recommend for moderate to experienced players of 3 players or more.

Near the beginning, as we were not sure what to expect, but significantly less eerie as the room went on.
Was anything broken?
Yes
Technical mechanics of one puzzle were slow, and this consumed much of our time, as we spent lengthy amounts of time trying to figure out where we went wrong. However, it was clear there were issues with the mechanics of the puzzle as it would stall and start inconsistently. After communicating with our game master, it was managed effectively and quickly.
