After completing over 100 escape rooms, this was undoubtedly the worst. I have never left a review of an escape room before but was so frustrated by this entire experience that I felt compelled to publish list of low-lights including: - Four different mechanical effects did not work - to the point that the game master had to come in and manually operate them so that we could get our next clue from each; - The GM discovered afterward that they had failed to place the final clue in our room - making a successful escape impossible; - None of the puzzles made sense and the video “clues” offered by the GM were just vague suggestions that offered no actual help in moving forward; and - We spent 75 minutes working in this room and solved only one puzzle without the GM’s help. For experienced escape room enthusiasts, it is almost inconceivable that this should happen. If you enjoy standing around for an hour working on unsolvable puzzles and wondering what ancient Egypt has to do with an early 20th century train car, then this may be the game for you. However, if you enjoy logical puzzles, working special effects, and coherent theming, don’t waste your time or money here.
Gameplay
It didn’t flow at all. Clues from the game master were required to solve all but one puzzle
Atmosphere
Four different effects did not work - requiring the game master to enter our room each time. The theme of ancient Egypt was jarring inconsistent with the setting on an early 20th century train car.
Customer service
When 4 of the special effects failed to work properly and the final clue was discovered not to have even been placed in our room, no apology was offered or even an acknowledgement that perhaps we had not been given the experience we paid for.
Particularly interesting or different
No
Ancient Egypt as an escape room theme has been done. Setting it on a train did not make it any more novel
Story
Incoherent. The room is called “The Will” but after completing it we realized that we never came across any will, inheritance, or probate-related puzzle or clues.
Difficulty
I selected “Expert” as the difficulty because “Impossible” was not an option.
Scary
Not scary
N/A. Not themed to be scary

Absolutely love this place! Beautiful theming and challenging puzzles. A little difficult for 2 we ended up using all of our clues.
