33 escape rooms
Overall, I can’t really recommend this room to people that have done escape rooms before. In the second room, the game master continuously talked us through the puzzles, even talking over the key clues that were being spoken to us by props in the room. After 2 dozen escape rooms, I don’t need someone telling me, “OK, now take the code that you got from the ____ and put it on the keypad on the wall… okay now you’re looking for a little book in the corner of the room.… yup, that’s it! Now find the code….” Etc. This might be great for a group of young people who have never done a room before. Without clues, I’m sure we could have escaped in the 30 minutes.
Gameplay
There was one physical element (the vent) that was challenging but not difficult to figure out. No real puzzles. Way too much unsolicited direction from the game master.
Atmosphere
Actually some startling sounds and effects. Didn’t really look like Alcatraz at all, but effective as a jail cell type environment.
Customer service
No real complaints. The front desk people were nice but unfortunately not very knowledgeable about escape room procedures.
Scary
Not scary
