The room looked okay, but the puzzles weren’t that exciting and the screen where we were supposed to get clues lost connection halfway through. We had to leave the room to get in touch with the GM.

Not a great room. Very few puzzles as it was a half hour room. The starting puzzle was the only puzzle that was not obviously a puzzle. The tv which was supposed to display Houdini in a water escape tank being slowly submerged (which I guess was the story) and our timer and hints just stopped working 5 minutes in. Not fun. Only one puzzle that I’d consider clever.

Gameplay

Very few puzzles that did not flow well.

Atmosphere

The room was threadbare.

Customer service

Tv stopped working before a single clue was given. Had to leave the room and let the guy in the booth know, and then he proceeded to just tell me the solution to the puzzle.
