The Gate

The room was very well produced and plays on a pop culture theme that isn't done everywhere (Stargate). The puzzles largely made sense / worked as expected, though there were a few hard to find places where you struggle to figure out what to do with a tool or clue. We used 4 hints and 2 of those probably saved use from just looking around for "the spot" for many minutes so if you start to get stuck, don't be a hero and ask for the clue so you can continue with actual puzzle solved verse a scavenger hunt. Our game master was very clear with the hints, almost to the point of they could be slightly more cryptic, but over all I think it kept us moving along and in one of those cases, we had overlooked something that we would have cursed ourselves for later. There is one puzzle that seems a little more disconnected that we would have liked, but I suppose that's subjective. All in all, we had a good time and felt clever at the end, so ... good stuff.

One of our favorite rooms here, and we’ve done them all except the emporium. A few fairly original puzzles. Hate that so many things have to be labeled “Do not touch”. Ruins the immersion a bit. There is also quite a lecture about all the things you shouldn’t touch or how to interact with certain things (ie) twist don’t push. Takes away from the fun of figuring things out.

Super cool!!! Great puzzles but some were a bit confusing. They make it seem super scary but not very scary at all.

We really enjoyed this room. Really cool set design and fun puzzles. The room was covered in “Do not touch labels” which ruins the immersion, but I would suggest it to anyone.

Cool and unique game!! We were told to do a lot of other rooms to practice to build up to this room because it was so hard. It was tough, but nowhere near as hard as it was made out to be lol. Lots of fun though!

I really enjoyed this one! Puzzles were interesting and not typical which added to the experience. This room wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be since it was supposed to be the hardest room at this location.

We liked this room a lot. Good puzzles and atmosphere. Minimal lock/key which is always fun. This was labeled as hard by the location, but we struggled more on their medium rooms than this one lol.

There was a light that was not working which made one puzzle particularly difficult as the room is very dark to begin with. That said, this was a pretty good room with lots of fun puzzles.

My group didn't escape but we had so much fun! The room looks incredible, and the puzzles have an unmatched "wow" factor to them!

We found it very satisfying, the first in a LONG time we hadn't escaped, we didn't seem to have enough time as two people. If anyone in your group is hard of hearing, especially single sided deaf or has a sensory difficulty with hearing, there are parts of this room that will be frustrating and parts which they will not know they are missing. Also very low lighting and overhead lights don't work so there wasn't a work around.
