We loved the styling of the room. We liked our GM. But our GM had only been there for 4 days and had only done this room once…it wasn’t great. Parts malfunctioned and took multiple tries, we worked on other parts/solutions thinking we were wrong, when really we just had to use significantly more force than we expected. The GM sent clues telling us to stop working on things that we needed to be working on, and overall there were just a lot of bad directions, which isn't the fault of the GM, they had no experience with this room.
One part was broken and we spent 15 minutes and multiple clues, but the clues we were given were all things we’d already solved. Turns out it just needed to be unlocked by the GM manually. There were several components to this room that needed to be manually handled by the GM, which is new to me.
Understandably, the GM couldn’t answer questions about the room.
This is also the first time anyone has popped in during the story video and told us that looking around will be penalized, so that was interesting. The staff here wasn't exactly unfriendly, they were just unhelpful. When we walked in (5 minutes before our room time, with waivers already completed) we were told we were late, and nothing else. It was jokingly, but still, odd to have no other information. After this room we had Pharaoh, but mentioned the issues to who is presumably the GM. He just said, essentially, oh well, that happens, you'll like the next one more. And then everyone walked away until the GM for our next game came out a few minutes later.
Pharaoh is cool, and this room is too, but the staff needs to be familiar with the rooms and be a little kinder. It's odd to me that they know there are issues with that room and don't prep the GMs, fix it, offer to make it right, give time back for time wasted on broken elements, etc.
Staff was new and didn’t know the room, staff also told us we’d be penalized for looking around during the video, but didn’t say so before the video started.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Really unique room with cool elements and use of space.
Medical stuff and gore, so if you’re sensitive to that it goes up. For me this was more than scary, my partner says spooky.
We lost 15 minutes to a broken part, several things didn’t work well and needed a lot of force, but the GM didn’t tell us that so we wasted time working on alternatives thinking we had the answers wrong. The GM had to manually do a lot of the controls since they didn’t work, but was new so they missed a few for a while.
Steep spiral stairs and crawling required
Accessibility
Not, it’s dark and cramped. Also, a whole section has low ceilings, so you hit your head a lot if you’re not careful. It’s padded though; so it didn’t hurt.
