Who Stole Mona?

The room itself and technology was cool but most of these puzzles were such a reach and made no sense. I feel like you need 90 min for this room. One of the puzzles mis-fired. Overall usually love Escapology but this was just a miss.

One of the initial puzzles in this room wasn't very strong though the idea was pretty neat. Some significant intuition and extrapolation was needed. However some very well executed puzzles and overall a fun challenge

This room was very disappointing from start to finish. The room entrance is located in the lobby and is an unlocked door so you can hear chatter and music from the lobby while you’re in your game. The set design is interesting and concept was fun but that’s where my positive feedback ends. There were two times where some of our puzzles got stuck and we needed GM assistance to retrieve something. In all my years of gaming experience, this has never happened. We wasted approximately 10 min on trying to get something unstuck and it was clear no one was watching us. Clue requests took a long time to get through and when they came in, they were two steps behind of us. Which also made me think people weren’t watching us. Somehow we “escaped” but it was very unsatisfying and frustrating the whole way through. Puzzles did not flow logically. At a certain point our game paused for emergency randomly and when I went out, I was ushered back into the game and was told it was an accident. We did get 2 min back of our time but the whole experience was confusing. Will not be going back.

Overall this room was disappointing. We didn’t have high standards necessarily, but this didn’t even live up to them. We got in 10 minutes late because there were not enough team members to reset the room in time. A lot of the puzzles were not working appropriately and the beginning puzzles did not have a logical work flow that allowed us to work through them effectively. Multiple puzzles had incorrect lighting or magnetic/key mechanisms that made them unsolvable without help. one puzzle relied on us breaking into the mechanism itself to reveal the answer. The response from the staff when we asked for hints showed that they were not particularly paying attention to what we were doing, as the hints were from several puzzles behind where we were. I think this is more due to a lack of adequate staffing rather than the staff themselves. Overall it was a disappointing last room for this location.

One of our top rooms. This doesn’t have multiple rooms but is a very large room! Great mix of technical and mechanical puzzles. Good story line and exciting ending. This room was one of the harder rooms we have played but we still escaped only being a team of two!

Solid room.
