Help Wanted

I have dont this twice with two different groups. Once when it first opened up and again in 2025. It was still fun. DO THIS ROOM and then book the next two in the series.

The best advice I can give is that you should absolutely do the Chimera Saga to experience these three rooms! The final part of the saga! If we were not doing the saga, and these rooms were unconnected, this one would be the least remarkable of the three, to be honest. It was still good. There were some fun interactive moments. All the puzzles and activities were high tech and had some really unique interactions. There was some really good stuff, I would have liked the room no matter what. But being the finale to the saga definitely added a whole dimension to this one that made it way better! It was so neat to get to play through a whole connected adventure, and this was a great way to wrap up the story!

Did the Chimera Trilogy.....that is the only way to do these rooms. Our hosts Audrey, Pork, and Connor were FANTASTIC. This was just a great experience and the perfect final chapter to an unbelievable experience. Not a lot to be critical here. You need to just do it.

Nothing like a saga that has a complete and satisfying feeling that truly ties in the entire experience. The retro vibe is awesome as well, and the acting was top tier. We had an incredible time and highly recommend these rooms!

A fitting end to the Chimera Corp Saga, this game has a significantly different ending if you do NOT do the full series (namely, it's missing about 5-10 minutes of gameplay). I highly recommend playing the Chimera Corp trilogy for the full experience. One series of puzzles was a bit tedious for my liking, and not all puzzles clicked for me. However, the actor interactions are the best of the saga, the ending is quirky and unique, and there's a lot of room for improv, cheekiness and play throughout, which really make this a great experience in the end.

Gameplay was good, Well thought out storyline, Good use of theme in puzzles

I enjoyed this room. While I liked it least of all the Chimera Corp. rooms, I liked the acting in this room the best-- particularly the condescending host/manager. If you're doing all 3, you'll get a little more out of it if you do this one last, since it has references to the story/characters from the other rooms.

Was very impressed by the gameplay. Had some really unique puzzles. The environment was a little more sterile, just due to the setting of the story, so not as whimsical as the other two in this location. That isn’t a bad thing particularly, but that element made it a bit less immersive, I guess. Had some really cool video effects and unique puzzles!

—This isn’t listed as horror, but it might be the most unsettling of the trilogy because its setting isn’t strange. It’s familiar. There are coffee mugs and clipboards, HR forms and corporate slogans. —Castle Flüffendor gave you wonder. Dark Lullaby gave you terror. Help Wanted gives you the machine that turns both into inventory. The Chimera Corporation doesn’t so much steal dreams as it licenses and repackages them. That day at the beach with your family? Chimera Corp is already listing it in a brochure. —You’ve moved from hero (Flüffendor), to captive (Dark Lullaby), to cog (Help Wanted). The question is no longer whether you can escape. It’s whether you’re willing to help sell the dream. You’re not a hero. You’re a new hire. And you quickly realize something is unsettlingly wrong. —There’s a character you meet in the game. At first she’s an acquaintance. Then a co-worker. Her presence reframes the game and makes you stop asking what puzzles need solving and instead start asking who you are solving them for. —The genius of Help Wanted isn’t just that it escalates the stakes. It localizes them. It gives you someone to care about. And once you care, the satire becomes something more than clever. It becomes personal. —None of this works unless the performance does. Audrey (the actress in our version) played the role with emotional texture… warm, naïve, vulnerable. She helps the game ask better questions. Not just “what is this corporation doing?” but “who gets hurt when it does?” —Help Wanted doesn’t try to outdo its predecessors in spectacle. It closes the trilogy by tightening the lens. The world narrows. The ethics go south. And when it ends, it brings the whole Chimera Saga into focus. Together, the three games form one of the most ambitious narratives I’ve seen. It asks not what kind of world we want to save, but what kind of systems we’re willing to serve. (NOTE: Help Wanted was our last chapter in the Chimera Saga [we played Fluffendor and Dark Lullaby directly before], and we had an additional ending which wrapped up the storyline. In other words, it’s hard to evaluate this game independently of the Saga. That being said, if you care about what escape rooms can be, there are few things I would more strongly recommend than playing all three chapters back-to-back, in a single, unforgettable day. It’s the reason people hop on planes and fly across the country to play escape rooms)
