Loved the theming and the story line but I wish the puzzles had been harder. For 70min it felt too easy.

This room is an absolute treat for any HP Lovecraft fan, or anyone who appreciates storytelling done right. From the moment the curtain closes (literally), the immersive narration pulled us deep into an eerie world of cosmic horror. The set design was eerie and the puzzles flowed beautifully. They were intuitive and thematic - although I did not get to see all of the puzzles so just keep that in mind. We had a good number of people in our group and it did feel like everyone had enough to do. There was enough collaboration at the end and the solutions did slowly reveal a new layer to the narrative, which made the progression feel rewarding to me. Highly recommend this one for the equal parts mystery, atmosphere, and storytelling experience!

A great tribute to HP Lovecraft with immersive narration and great set design. Puzzles flowed great and were intuitive;

This escape room is amazing from the moment you step inside. ;)

The flow is great for large groups. The game is "non-linear", so teams of 2-3 can solve the puzzles needed for the larger goal.

I went with a group of 8, I believe we could have escaped with a group of 4.

In retrospect, I appreciate the originality of this room, but I didn't find it a ton of fun while we were playing. Also, the GM is literally behind a curtain for the experience which I found quite odd.

A cool room. Nothing extraordinary, but the vibes were cool, and the puzzles all felt like they contributed to the story. I appreciated that it was non-linear, meaning that multiple people could work on different puzzles at the same time. All three members of my group were busy 100% of the time, which I appreciated. Afterwards, they let us go back and recap to one another what we had been working on while the others were occupied.

Our team of 3 was busy, but we finished with plenty of time (though we are experienced “Escape Room” people)

The game itself was really cool and I enjoyed! There were just a few things that threw it off for me, one being that we were told the rules twice. The first time by the gamemaster, and the second time by a radio. I was a little thrown off by that at the beginning, but after that I had a really enjoyable time! It looked really cool, and the puzzles were rather unique!
Gameplay
There were a lot of puzzles that I've never seen before and that I found really unique and fun!
Atmosphere
The vibes were really cool, though a few things threw it off for me, namely the fact that though there were lots of flashlights inside, they seemed kind of poor on battery and weren't light enough for me. Not a huge issue, just something I noticed. Additionally, the sound effects were not loud enough, so that even though I'm not hard of hearing I was really straining to hear everything that was said for clues/storyline
Customer service
GM was very welcoming! We thought it was very sweet that they were waiting outside for us, it really helped us figure out where we were going!

I’d say this was slightly more difficult than we had thought- we asked about 3 clues and beat the game just in time. On a scale level, I’d rank it more challenging than Dive to Atlantis. Partially because this game requires you to multi task and solve several things at once- so teamwork is particularly important- avoid everyone crowding one puzzle at the same time. The setting was spooky but the theme was slightly elusive for us. We didn’t quite get the folklore /hotel theme. But we enjoyed the game nonetheless!
