I had higher hopes for Cerebral, especially with a higher price point than the other games but it really fell flat. The room was HOT, it felt like no AC in the California summer evening weather and the GM offered to bring us a floor fan to help. I don't want to be overly critical, but the room is kinda shabby. Just some very simple furniture, wires showing everywhere, baseboards and paint coming off, and no soundtrack or music so it was dead silent. The puzzles were not bad, but things kept breaking which made everything take longer on top of multiple puzzles not being easy to go from point A to point B. The intercom to get hints didn't work so the GM had to come in to give clues when requested. Its not terrible and we still had fun, but I wouldn't recommend this room at its current price as there's nothing in it to warrant the difference. Play bomb threat instead, that single room game is more enjoyable than this one.

Nothing inherently scary but some blood and mannequins here and there.

Puzzles might be too hard for younger kids.
Was anything broken?
Yes
AC wasn't working, magnetic lock was open when we got in, intercom for hinting was broken, and the second to last puzzle just stopped working in the middle of one of our last attempts.

I had higher expectations for this room. Intricate puzzles that weren’t as amusing as we thought they’d be.

Five of us solved the 75-min puzzle with 3 minutes to spare. It was challenging but we were able to move through it and figure it out. There was one part with a cypher that took a really long time.

It was a 75 minute challenging room. It did flow well.

There was a part where one player had to go to a separate dark room and we communicated with them via walkie talkie!

At one point someone had to be in a dark room so it was scarier for them. It was creepy in some parts.

There was one thing that didn’t trigger. We needed a clue. I wish it would have opened without us having to ask about it. We lost about 10 minutes I think.

Very disappointed in this room. I had high expectations for a scary room with a good ambience. Multiple props broken or not working correctly. The GM didn’t remember to start our timer or seem particularly interested in actually being involved. She didn’t have her hint mic muted and was talking to her coworkers and we could hear it in our room through the speaker. I had to ask her to mute herself. I would not recommend and do not plan on going back.

Supposed to be a scary room but not at all scary. No jump scares, no creepy ambient music, just some splatters or blood and dummies.

Very fun room, a lot of puzzles. I will say though some of the puzzles are very time consuming, maybe rate this expert. Iv done some ‘hard’ ones and Cerebral was way harder!
