This was a good room for the location. The GM was very nice. Most of the clues are very straightforward. But there’s at least one item you “unlock” that is actually of no use. I don’t like that. The hint system is a little awkward as well. We had a different GM give us hints and… it was not very immersive or interesting. He was very nice! But it did interrupt the “game” a bit. No tech, very Gen 1. But overall a fun room for 2-4 players if you’re in the area.

Gameplay

Pretty solid and straight-forward.

Atmosphere

Because of its location, it does feel very “of the era.”

Customer service

Our main GM was very nice and knowledgeable. The other GM seemed new? Still very nice!

The puzzles were truly unique to Gettysburg itself and kept us on our toes throughout the entire experience. We especially loved solving the puzzles in the train station area. While the train setting could have been a bit more immersive, the overall design was fun and the historical theme was cleverly woven in. The hint system was awkward since they were trying to be old-timey, and actually cut into our time a little. Gettysburg Gold is best room of this company. Wouldn't recommend Rebel Recon.
