Mark as done to rate

World renowned archaeologist, Professor Wayne Marshall, went missing in the 50s and you have just come across his old research notes hidden in the old Archaeology building on campus. Rumors have circulated around the college since his disappearance. Reading through the Professor’s notes you find evidence of a major discovery deep in a South American jungle. With this information, you’ve packed your bags, plotted a course for a long-lost temple. If you can find it and what happened to Professor Marshall you will add your names to the pages of history, but only if you make it out alive.

10 escape rooms

Wasn’t our favorite escape room, there were a few of the props that were broken, which really took away from the experience. But the room itself was decorated well.

All and all nicely themed good looking room, a bit of a lock-heavy room but missing flow and feedback for what you are doing at points feeling super lost like some information was missing but it never was found. I'd love to say it was because the room didn't mesh with me but the whole party felt the same.

Gameplay

This room had some notes that didn’t always make the flow feel great because the note was overly cryptic and didn't let you know what to work on next. However, many of the puzzles were inventive, requiring you to use everything in the room.

Atmosphere

Pleasant atmosphere without having a lot of extra props and great utilization of those props. The only downside, in my opinion, was it didn't have music in the room it had an excellent background track but needed something that kept the pace. Overall this room was missing a lot of feedback for audio.

Customer service

They may have been understaffed; we only interacted quickly with the staff, and all seemed rushed. You get hints with a radio which is personally not my favorite. I like being able to read through it a couple of times. When we Won, the GM didn’t come to get us, so we walked out to the lobby, and the timer never stopped at the end; it was a bit odd. It left us wondering if we broke something and finished or what.

Particularly interesting or different

No

Honestly, it wasn't anything I hadn't seen before. From what I expected, I was sadly underwhelmed the room could have taken it up to a whole other level with minimal but important changes.

Story

They didn’t give us any plot besides reading the poster when we booked

Difficulty

Medium

This room didn’t mesh with me, and the cryptic notes in the room didn’t help; luckily my party got it much more then I did.

Game tech

Mechanical

The room was a more lock-focused room with some simple but excellent tech components

Ideal number of players

5

I’d say 4 to 6 is probably best for the size and the puzzles you can do simultaneously.

Scary

Not scary

It was a rather dark room, so maybe a bit spooky for younger kids at the start.

Minimum age

13

With the need to puzzle through the notes and be observant, I’d recommend it to a kid who likes reading and puzzling.

Was anything broken?

No

Some rough props and paint but nothing crazy. Well loved not broken.

Live actors

No

Physically active

Somewhat

You do not need to crawl or reach above head height. However, you must go a bit low to get some items, so be aware. Otherwise, most other is moving items and boxes.

Accessibility

It may be a bit tight in some spots, but otherwise, it would be accessible for a wheelchair, for people who are hard of hearing the radio hints are a major downside but other than that it would be fine. For colour blind one puzzle dose use colours so be aware of that though it's spelled out. The room is on the dark side but you can use flashlights. For dyslexics be very careful about reading (it killed me).

Easy to find location

Yes

The location is excellent and easy to see from the road. The turn-in may be hard depending on the day

Parking

Easy

It's a smaller strip mall, so maybe on a crazy day, it may be more challenging, but the lot has a good amount of space

8.8/10 The best room this location has ever offered. No wonder it is still in existence! A great spin on some Indiana Jones inspired clues and themes. Nowadays a few of the puzzles could be updated (and maybe they have been!), but for the generation this game started in, it was top of the line.

The first escape room I ever played and the best room at OWO! I worked here as a game master and later the general manager, but I had no knowledge of the room when I played the first time. The atmosphere is extremely immersive and the puzzles are unique. There are gen 1 and gen 2 elements and an amazing wow factor! As an employee, this room received the most positive feedback as well.
