Did not enjoy this room. There was almost no clear story, the room needs to be refreshed (colors/paints/mechanisms were worn), and the clues felt disparate at times. We’ve done a lot of rooms and this is near the bottom of our list.
Gameplay
There were several puzzles that, once completed, had no semblance of why or how you were supposed to figure it out.

Story
There was basically no, clear plot. especially from the beginning. You are just on a mail train. Possibly going to get robbed. But. That’s the extent of the story.

We were super excited to try this room - the train idea is so cool and immersive! We really felt like we were on a train. I did feel like the storyline was not as immersive or easy to understand as it could be, and the ending felt abrupt, but we enjoyed the experience overall.

It was very cool, the train felt like it was actually moving and the props and puzzles fit the theme perfectly.

SET: the set is impressive. It feels like you’re on a moving train and the addition of forced air in a few areas really add to the immersion. STORY/PLOT: this is the one area where the room lacks a bit, but it’s the part of an escape game that I care the least about. PUZZLES: there is a nice mix of mechanical and technical puzzles, and a couple that really stand out. STAFF: we played 6 rooms in a day, and Steve at the front desk was great coordinating our day, making sure that each GM knew our hint preferences, etc. Each GM was also amazing and you can tell that the entire staff are enthusiast and really enjoy their jobs. This is a great experience and one that you should play if you’re in Phoenix.
Atmosphere
Fairly legit feel of a moving train.
Customer service
The staff is amazing. Steve took great care of us.

Another really well done room from North Valley, the train was super realistic, with wind blowing from below, the train moving as you travel, being able to look out the window, the whole nine yards. The game had some really neat puzzles my group and I really liked, and admittedly some rougher puzzles we weren’t huge fans of, but between the set and the good puzzles it’s hard to dislike this room, most everything is really well put together.

The room setting and Emerson was fantastic. The clues and the game flow is what we didn’t like.
Gameplay
The clues didn’t flow well. The clues weren’t necessarily difficult, they just did not connect. Some things in the room opened doors or locks without a reason why. Lot of jumping to conclusions with little or no direction.

Surprisingly good. We were traveling for my 100th room, and tried to squeeze in a few extra rooms, and this one was a surprise! Do keep in mind the whole room sways the entire time (a la a real train), and this can be turned off on request.

Really well done room. Some props/puzzles didn't work, but that is normal to happen on occasion. Felt a little motion sick at the end, but still a great time
