The Legend of Atlantis

I really love the attention to detail here. It’s still my second favorite escape room just due to ambiance!

A nice room with an immersive set! Unlike other rooms here, this one is just a barely like though. Some of the puzzles were repetitive and time-wasters, including one we had to do twice because the mechanism didn’t work properly. Thankfully, our kind GM stopped the time for us but it was still annoying. The lights were too dim to really see some of the details for the puzzles, and you only get one light… We couldn’t use our phone flashlights either. The other Gatlin’s Escape games are phenomenal! This one, though, is the most skippable. I can see why Atlantis became a Lost Empire…

Skip this game. We heard after we booked it that this was a pre bought game and they don’t have the rights to change it up. It’s an old school Atlantis game with plenty of tedious time wasting puzzles. Additionally our game master was very bad.

Overall this game is well designed with fun puzzles! The game guide gave too many clues and nudges without us struggling or really attempting the puzzles. The lighting made one puzzle very difficult for colorblind members of our party and it was nearly impossible to do with two people for one puzzle. I would recommend booking with 3 people for that reason and to set clear lines for clues with the game guides (I am not sure if this is the training or just one person but it wouldn’t hurt). The staff was also very friendly and tried to create a positive atmosphere.

Beautiful design and fun games.

Some very difficult puzzles, but we also found them very straightforward and fun. Tech aspects worked perfectly - this was our personal favorite of the trip. Beth was an amazing guide!

Absolutely beautiful but way, way too dark. The puzzles were so so finicky that even after completing correctly they would not register and had to be done multiple times. One in particular was extremely tedious to the point of “this is not fun anymore.”

This room looked very cool—super immersive and detail-oriented—and had some very fun, very unique puzzles. My complaints that keep it from being a favorite are twofold: 1. We had six people, it says it fits up to eight, but we only had one lantern to light up the room which was very dark at times. And we were told specifically not to use phone flashlights and just use the lantern. It was a fun immersive part of the room that I like, but two or even three lanterns. 2. There was more than one finicky puzzles that we had correct but had to keep wasting time doing because it didn’t work right the first time (even when our GM confirmed we were doing it correctly but just needed to do it again making sure to do it slower, more precisely, etc. Just annoying to have to solve the same puzzle four times because in order to solve it you almost have to meta game to make sure the mechanism was actually working.

Game play was ok. We had the first puzzle solved pretty quick. But we didn’t know that the things you move to set the code had to be PERFECTLY set in place. We wasted almost 12 minutes not knowing we were correct. The numbers were right the items just wasn’t perfect until we used a clue and the guy told us to hold them in place. He could have told us we were right and what to do when he saw it wasn’t working. We were saying the answer out loud so he had to hear us. The game design was good
