Noche de Perros [Night of Dogs]

We like rooms with unusual themes, and we enjoyed Distrito 7 in Pamplona very much. It works hard (maybe too hard) to have a coherent plot line. It starts off in a realistic-looking bar in a crime-ridden neighborhood in Manhattan, other rooms in the game also have a realistic feel (you can see one of them on their website). Many of the puzzles suffer from the weird logic peculiar to escape rooms but were still quite fun. Afterwards, the GM told us that their goal was to make ordinary items seem surprising; I think they succeeded. It's a 90-minute game and feels like a lot of content; as a team of 2 we felt a little exhausted by the end. There are multiple rooms in the game, but also multiple acts, with different objectives and moods. In addition to the GM helping us, there were some NPCs (human and otherwise). Most of the Spanish text had English translations taped over them and were fine, but we struggled with some of the recorded audio, some of which was in Spanish. There are some pretty easy physical challenges. The GM's English was fine, but he told us after the game that he had actually stopped working at that escape room company a couple of weeks ago, but they called him back just so he could be the GM for us in English.
