Last room here. It was great! There are a lot of logic puzzles which I love. Definitely more of a 1st gen room, but we love that. We have enjoyed all of the rooms here. Look forward to see if they open a new one sometime.

This was a fun room with very solid puzzle design. We found it easier than Martian Meltdown, but not massively easier. All the puzzles are on theme with a couple of clever “magical” effects. It is an older style of room in that most things are mechanical locks, but I don’t personally find that to be a negative. Recommended.

It is identical to some other rooms we have done in other states. Not a bad room at all just if you have done one before it might use the same puzzles.

There are alot of puzzles in this room. If you have a small group communication is going to be really key as you’re all solving different puzzles that may connect.
