Great puzzle room for two people. Not the most difficult but still enjoyable! Mix of locks and interactive puzzles

A bit too easy, and there were a few “tasks” rather than “puzzles,” but we enjoyed ourselves. I don’t recommend more than 2 enthusiasts or beginners in this room, just because space is tight and there aren’t enough puzzles to keep everyone busy. We were 2 enthusiasts who had to rush through the room as quickly as possible to stay on schedule due to their mistake in making our booking, and we finished this 30-min room in just 12 minutes. Had we had the luxury of 30 mins, we would’ve slowed down and enjoyed the room more. But being able to get out in 12 mins is also not a great sign. This is a fine and enjoyable time filler if you want to do 2 other rooms here but have a gap in your schedule. But I wouldn’t go out of your way to come to this location just to do this room.

Fun little room! Brought my 5yo and they let me book back-to-back 30min slots so I could take the time to work thru puzzles with him rather than run them myself. We only barely needed the extra time, if that tells you the level of difficulty of the room, but it was a great intro room!

It’s a mini with smooth game play! Fun tech and cool special effects that work! Could be their best room here. I wouldn’t call this their easiest room - I would say that this room has the smoothest logic maybe of all their rooms which makes it flow well. Smooth flow without unnecessary frustration = enjoyment in our book! Go play it!

This was a fun singular room experience and definitely fits the bill of a "mini-sode". Our group of 3, which consisted of 2 adults and 1 child, solved this room in just under 12.5 minutes with no clues and the 10 year old did a good bit of the work. It's a fairly easy room with good puzzles that made sense. I would definitely recommend this room for beginners or those with kids who want to give escape rooms a try without running from one room to another. I would recommend this for those who are more experienced and want more of a challenge.

Gameplay

Gameplay flowed well and made use of the various types of locks and clues.

Atmosphere

While the room is a bit sparse, it is adequately decorated for the theme and the robot is quite amusing when you get him talking.

Customer service

The staff at Red Door is always awesome and welcoming. This visit was no exception as the staff were extremely helpful while I was booking and attentive throughout our entire experience.

Particularly interesting or different

No

While it was fun, it was an admittedly simply room with nothing overly interesting or standoutish.

Story

Simple and cliche story but that's expected for a room of this level. Keep in mind it is meant for inexperienced people or groups with kids looking to dip their feet into escape rooms.

Difficulty

Easy

Game tech

Mechanical

They did have one high tech tricky puzzle that involves either 1 smart person or some helpful teamwork.

Ideal number of players

3

This room had enough to keep 3 of us fairly busy the entire time as we spread out. It could easily and comfortably be done with 2 but 4 might just be a bit too much.

Scary

Not scary

Minimum age

10

Our kiddo is 10 and she was able to grasp nearly all of the clues and puzzles on her own. Only 1 or 2 needed some adult help.

Was anything broken?

No

Live actors

No

Physically active

Somewhat

The only really physical part is hefting some of the robot's parts on, namely it's legs, as they can be a tad heavy.

Accessibility

Very accessible for those with mobility issues but they will need someone to heft around the robot's pieces. Not recommend for those with color issues as there are a few points when colors are involved.

Easy to find location

Yes

Easy to find and can be seen from the parking lot of the mall so you know you have the right spot as opposed to possibly parking on the opposite side of the mall from it.

Parking

Easy

Free parking is readily available nearby.

Short mini game, but definitely worth the play! We think this is their best room, all the puzzles were super direct, no confusion, the atmosphere was cute, and game play flowed really well for the few puzzles it had. It was only singular room, but i think it worked well for this place! Best for a smaller group, the 2 of us fit perfect and had enough to work on for both of us.

30 minutes of fun. A very easy game but a nice game. Would be great for bringing your kids or just an escape pal. Why you might like this room: you’re a fan of the Iron Giant. Why you might not like this room: Singular Room, fear of robots and the last remaining directional lock on earth.

For a 30 minute game, this was very well done! The puzzles were cute, the set was well put together, and the flow was great for two players.

Brand new room at Red Door but it is a mini game. It was fun but for an experienced group of two was quite easy. Still recommend this room but not for too many experienced players or it will be over too quick.

This was a mini episode of 30 minutes. It was a good little escape room. There was only one room but lots of good puzzles. 3 people is the maximum amount of people to play this game and any more would be too much anyway. I would suggest this game for beginners or people trying to kill a few minutes.
