Mark as done to rate

Permanently Closed - Your team is split into two groups and locked in separate cells. You must work together to not only break out of both cells, but also clear your name or the posse will come after you. Based in the 1890's on a real central California story, you must use the tools of the time and follow clues from known robbers. It's a no-tech, high quality room, that will test your wits. Our hardest room yet. Not recommend for beginners or smaller groups.

This one was a love/hate situation. A couple puzzles were just so tedious and ate up a lot of time, when it shouldn’t. Solving the puzzle should take up the most time, not undoing locks. I loved working with the other group in the other jail cell. It required communication. They did a good job with the set design but having it open to the lobby was distracting. We heard people talking.

Gameplay

It didn’t flow well, but some puzzles were novel. They were interesting, but gimmicks would cause you to lose time.

Atmosphere

Sounds from the lobby carried through.

It’s hard, but don’t overthink it. Take it very literal. Some puzzles ate up a lot of time since they were quite tedious.

All locks. The end though is pretty neat how they did it.

This is the hardest room at this location for sure. We did not escape but it was still fun. I liked the idea of being separated, it caused a lot of funny moments within our group. I wouldn’t recommend this game for first time players, but if you want a challenge then go for it!

Touted as the most difficult room in OC was overhyping it and made us overcomplicate some puzzles thinking it'd be harder. The split start wasn't that great as both rooms didn't really need to work together unlike the one at Zombie Rising. The amount of puzzles and uniqueness behind each one was pretty good. Immersivness and decor was really good.

We got stuck on the gun safe. If you don’t know how to use one, it’s almost impossible. We kept asking the game master to assist us, but he insisted we follow the instructions. What gets me is the person who helped BUILD the room said he couldn’t beat it and boasted about it being the lowest success rate in OC. That’s not something to brag about. It means puzzles jump logic and aren’t very good.

This is probably the toughest room at this location. You should have a team of 4-6! I play tested the original version and after almost everything was changed and modified, played it with 3 and barely escaped! It’s a nice, compact escape experience where you actually escape! If you do like a challenge, this is what you should go with!
