What Happened to Detective Magnum?

The room was overall pretty good. The best part of all was scratching the nostalgia itch. We had party members in their 40s and some in their 50s, and so quite of lot of the elements included in solving were fun childhood memories. The actual puzzles themselves were a bit simplistic. A mix of a bit of low tech and a bit of high tech. The only downside is that the room really needs some TLC. It looks worn out and used, and doesn't feel like it's upkept very well. Also our GM did a very poor job on the intro, so there was zero buy in on what should have been a very fun plot to the room's theme.

I liked this more than Mutiny, the only other game we played at Escape Plan Columbia. Puzzles worked and made sense, and the theming felt good (though admittedly "old 60s-80s house" is not super hard). Some of the props were unexpectedly customized to us or to the game, rather than just being generic, which was a nice touch. Having said that, one puzzle was almost illegibly worn, and some props felt unmaintained. We also didn't realize when we won, since there was no feedback or confirmation. Escape Plan Columbia needs to step up their game here.

This escape room was mediocre. The props were old things seem dirty, and nothing was up-to-date. Props didn’t work and neither did. Some of the locks was a little disappointing in the way it all went and at the end for the final clue, we could not get the safe open and the Girl who were there had to come in to try and do it and never could herself get it open to get to the final clue.

First room I did here, really enjoyed it!

It was ok. Not my favorite. Really picky details which irritated me. Gm was super kind though.

Fun thematic room that feels very immersive. Great props that are part of puzzles. Would be a great game for families if they have tweens or older.

Fun room. Definitely a good experience.

fun game, a little on the harder side because we did it with two people and there was a lot to be done!

The game itself was very engaging and definitely held the vibe of stepping into the 80’s. I wouldn’t say the game itself is overly difficult, but there were a number of props that probably need a bit of attention paid to them. Definitely suggest trying out the game, but just beware of props being a bit worn down or dry erase markers not working!

Nick was a fantastic game master. Lots of nostalgic moments and the overall room was great.
