116 escape rooms
My least favorite room at this company’s newest location. The puzzles were very straightforward, except for the one that wasn’t, meaning all the puzzles but one were too easy and the one that was hard was too hard. They have recently started using stickers to indicate you are close to something and DO touch stickers, in addition to the typical do not touch stickers. The abundance of stickers really broke the theme of the room. The set was hastily constructed and didn’t really make sense for the setting. As usual for Colorado Escape, there are a number of red herrings throughout the room.
Gameplay
Disjointed room, fairly linear with some pieces of puzzles discovered early to create a less linear flow.
Atmosphere
For the budget, pretty good - a surprising piece of tech that I wasn’t expecting
Customer service
Lots of weird rules emphasized. We were told if a member of our group left the room the game would end for our group but not the strangers we were playing with. Several puzzles were partially spoiled in the rules explanation.

Not difficult or scary but a lot of reading is necessary
Was anything broken?
No
Nothing actually broken but given that the room had been open less than a year there was a surprising amount of wear visible. I suspect much of the set was reused from a previous game.
Live actors
No
Physically active
Somewhat
Some components were placed high up (not out of reach)
Accessibility
Not good. Crouching and reaching are both necessary. Part of the game is played in the dark. The hint screen is small and hard to read. Color puzzles are used.
