Overall fun room. The theme is on point and the puzzles seem to fit well. Our group of 4 (two first timers) got right into the game and started finding and figuring things out quickly. The puzzles are very linear (more than once our GM had to tell us we weren’t quite ready to solve a puzzle we started working on) so, I guess, focus on solving the puzzle at hand. Everything seemed to work well and nothing seemed worn or broken. One thing that maybe set us back a little was our GM was a little green, so he was a little hard to understand, but we were able to figure most things out on our own.
Gameplay
It was very linear. The puzzles (with one exception) only took one or two people to solve. So there was some standing around for the other people. They were clever and fun though.
Atmosphere
The room was very immersive. Nice effects and puzzles.
Customer service
The staff is wonderful here. Very welcoming desk staff and the GMs are typically a very into their roles. Our GM must have been a little newer - he fumbled over his words and some of his explanations or clues were hard to understand
Particularly interesting or different
There was one puzzle that required 4 people to be at different stations and do a task simultaneously - this was the best part and the was the most satisfying puzzle
Story
It was fine - self explanatory but coupled with the in room video and the role of the GM, it was a little hard to understand - and there was some parts of the story that seemed overly detailed and really had nothing to do with the room. There was a whole page in the instructions that had info on “bad guys” but we never needed or used it
