A solid room with cohesive themes. The set dressing and room design are particular standouts, and greatly add to immersion. The story is compelling and easy to follow. Puzzles are relatively basic and linear, and may be better suited to smaller groups - a larger group of enthusiasts may find the challenge too simple.

Awesome game and set design. We’ve never experienced a multi-level game before! How cool!! Felt very immersive and interactive. Highly recommend.

Overall a good room, but had some pretty glaring problems. To start with the positives, the set was so well done. Traversing the set was a blast and it looked so real with time-period appropriate props and decor. The puzzles were pretty solid as well, but some minor tweaks were needed to avoid unnecessary confusion on some of the puzzles. However, after we finished the room we found out that 1 puzzle that we thought we triggered by doing something pretty obvious was actually not triggered by that and we had to save that clue for later, causing unnecessary confusion. One transition in the room also seemed dangerous, even more so in the dark environment that it took place in. The story also felt really muddy since the gm did not explain to us anything before sending us into the room, and the room itself did not elaborate enough on the storyline to create a cohesive, full-circle story. The ending was very anticlimactic because we didn’t even know if we won until the gm walked in a minute later because the final thing we did didn’t really make sense with the story. Overall, a beautiful room with some solid puzzles, but a couple things hold it back from being a great experience.

Atmosphere was well above average for rooms of this type!

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Different because it is more physical than most escape rooms.

Story

Story was not cohesive because they didn’t explain anything beforehand, the gm was like “ ok here’s your room, good luck” and the storyline was not developed enough throughout for us to really understand what was going on. The ending further confused us, story-wise.

Oh my gosh, this room was so cute and unique. There were additional rules that I’ve never experienced in an escape room, which made it so much more fun and interactive. I loved this one so much. The props were a little outdated, and there were some red herring’s, so that was a little confusing, but the staff is so fantastic that it didn’t really matter. It wasn’t really meant to be a hilarious game, but the staff once again had us in stitches.

This room has a unique theme and the clues were sometimes a little challenging to follow. There are rooms where you need a flashlight and one is not provided for you.

9.5/10 This game had some of the most unique mechanics and story points that I’ve ever seen. So much that it confused us a little bit. Haha. I really enjoyed the way it immersed you in the story. It was extremely physical, which was neat. Definitely some puzzles that are way out of the box, but not too many of them. This is a game I’d consider doing a second time.

Overall this was a fun linear room! It wasn’t as intuitive in some parts and was definitely one of the more challenging rooms I’ve done. Still worth playing though!

Good puzzles, good story. We actually had played this one previously (2018) and NOT gotten out. I forgot, and booked it again for our Christmas family travel. Didn’t have Morty then to help me out. Doh!
