Really did not enjoy this room. Maybe it's because I'm not in the local basketball lore but the puzzles also felt like a stretch at times, but again maybe it's not a stretch to someone with more intuition about the lore. It didn't help that no one in the group seemed to enjoy it which brought the vibes down even more. If you're a basketball fan, go for it. We've done other escape rooms in this location and enjoyed those much more!

7.5/10 This was definitely one of the most fun overall rooms I've done at BCE, not necessarily due to difficulty or incredibly unique puzzles, but because the puzzles and room were themed all so well. I went with 3 Duke alums, who knew all the inside jokes and story references. I would highly recommend it for this reason, it was fun to watch people that don't normally do escape rooms get so into it due to a theme.

Gameplay

The flow here was pretty good, and there were enough puzzles for a group of 4 to all work on separately at times and culminated together at others to make for an enjoyable start to finish. The final puzzle was a bit cheesy and probably the weakest, but otherwise things were great.

This room was not for us but did enjoy a different room here. Would try again for sure!

Gameplay

This game relied too much on knowledge of local collegiate sports. We had asked about this ahead of time, and I think the owner just assumed that some of this lore was common knowledge. We were lost.
