Welcome the the circus!!! And the first impressions were definitely something. Our group started in a somewhat cozy room. Which was themed perfectly, there were no deviations from the circus theme. There were a few surprises ahead of us. The fully immersive circus theme filled our senses. All the puzzles were also a perfect fit. Some of my favorite puzzles were based on a few midway games, which really tied in the gameplay. Once again this is a non-linear room so all the players can work on different aspects and not wait till a puzzle is solved before continuing, I mean of course, they are all caught up and solved the puzzles up to that point. Our group has found this to be a relaxed but entertaining room.

This room had a very entertaining and whimsical aspect to it.

Fully immersive and you are really brought into the theme of the room.

The staff there has always been great.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
It was an original concept that we had not encountered before.
Story
The story was considered basic only because of the uniqueness of the room.
Difficulty
Hard
There were a few puzzles where concentration was a must.

High tech
Like many of the rooms here, there is almost a perfect marriage between the two. I decided to pick high-tech due to the very physical aspects of the puzzle(s) trigger multiple technical results.

It may seem a little tight at first, but I believe a max of eight people will work.

The theme of the room is not intended to be scary.

Good room, but not necessarily a showstopper. I liked the fun circus decorations and props, and the puzzles made good use of the whimsical theming. Maybe a little over-reliant on laminated clue sheets. Also, some puzzles didn’t seem to connect clearly, so we ended up using a hint, but still didn’t necessarily know how someone would have come to that conclusion for the solution. Probably a fun room for younger kids and families, though enthusiasts might not get as much fanfare under the big top.
