This is one of the rooms for which I wish there was an option between thumbs up and thumbs down. It’s not the worst room we’ve done - and definitely better than Altimira at the same company - but it’s hard to truly “recommend” this room, especially for the cost.
Gameplay
Gameplay was very linear. Puzzle solutions/approach were generally fairly obvious but were reasonably well-integrated into the environment. There are several points where one could be easily stuck for quite a while trying to manage a physical challenge or searching for a hidden object.
Atmosphere
A bit dark and plain, but the individual elements were well-selected and used effectively.
Customer service
Particularly interesting or different
No
Not really, but for the most part it moved along smoothly and logically.
Story
No story at all really. Thematic elements were used well though.
Difficulty
Easy
Definitely better for younger or less experienced players.

Because of the linear play and simple puzzles, not great for large groups. There are a couple of moments when more at least two people are required.

Was anything broken?
No
Not exactly broken, but one element had a very poor reveal that didn’t quite trigger correctly and then was almost unnoticeable once it did trigger.

A few somewhat physical puzzles.

Fun room, good for beginning and intermediate players. I liked the theming, and there are very few red herring. Some delightfully different puzzle mechanics.

David was an awesome game master! The room was super creative and playful. Took me back to when I would run around arcades as a kid. Awesome room.

Fun concept, hard to go wrong with an 80’s themed arcade. It is rated as hard, we didn’t find it difficult at all. Very linear, lots of locks.

The room is listed as hard… not sure why. We finished in about 20 minutes without any hints. I could see newer players get stuck on some of the puzzles, but it’s definitely not hard.

Fairly linear, lots of various locks and combination locks, but still a lot of fun. Flowed well, puzzles made sense, and some creative interactive elements with the arcade theme. Only needed one hint and it was something we probably should’ve noticed on our own. Would do more games with this company.

Darkcade is an arcade themed room. The decor was a bit on the sparse side, but still immersive. Puzzles were fun and innovative. A bit on the easier side, good for first-timers. GM was helpful and friendly. Parking at the location was easy and there are lots of other activities at the mall.
