The Asylum: The Doctor's Secret

Booked this room and the “sequel” to it back to back. Mechanical failure ate ~15 minutes of our time (which was shortened by another ~5 minutes due to the facility’s late start). I commented on us running out of time because of the mechanical failure, expecting something conciliatory (like more time, or at least acknowledgement of the room’s issues) and the host rolled her eyes and just said “Yep.” Notwithstanding the mechanical failure and bad attitude from the host, the room was okay; nothing particularly stand out, felt like a comfortable average indie room.

Disappointed. A little outdated. Would have been a cool room 10 years ago. It lacked originality and innovative puzzles.

The puzzles were mostly just keys and locks. A couple puzzles were hard to understand.

Did this room with two of us and struggled with a few puzzles. Most of the puzzles are multi layered and some of the clues were difficult to understand.

It was overall a fun experience! It’s not scary but definitely spooky. Definitely doable with 2 people :).

Definitely a straightforward but enjoyable room. I’m in love with the themeing and I can’t wait to experience more!

The room is built well, the puzzles are fine, everything worked. I like the setup they have, how immersive the opener is, all that is great. The room didn't click for either of us but there wasn't anything wrong with it. Do both rooms back to back, they take you from one to the next without breaking the immersion which is a nice touch.

Man, this was so much fun! So we did this and the follow-up game back to back (as is recommended) with this one (the older game) first. So much better this way. First off, the set design is perfect. It's a huge asylum. I will not spoil the opening/introduction, but it sets the mood perfectly with a mix of creepy & off-the-wall humor. The puzzles flowed well and were pretty intuitive. I enjoyed the hint system which kept things quite immersive. The live actors were the icing on the cupcake for sure. I had recently reviewed some other rooms in Vegas calling them solid but nothing new or novel. And that's the thing. One expects A SHOW when you are in Vegas. The Asylum series at Lost provides that for sure. I highly recommend you do this room and immediately follow-up with Playtime (in that order). You'll get the best experience.

Second room at this location. It did not disappoint. Employees are always really amazing, KAZ (SOSUKE) was our Game Master, I would come back just for him. Looking forward to doing the other room that they have here.

Good room for 2 with some fun puzzles. But we got out way too fast (about 30-35 mins), and we weren’t rushing at all. The only saving grace was that we did this as a back-to-back with Chapter 2, so the brevity of this room wasn’t quite as noticeable. Definitely recommend the back-to-back experience if you have the time so spare! The live actors at the beginning did a great job setting the scene and really created a positive interactive experience, but I’m glad they were not there throughout the whole experience. We liked being able to just do our own thing, and it was great that they honored our wishes to have zero hints.
