25 escape rooms
this escape room felt like some amazing Disney imagineers designed the set, animatronics, atmosphere, etc. BUT some of the actual puzzles were hand-made by Walt’s long lost great-nephew…and that’s not a good thing. Some puzzles were fiddly and wouldn’t register unless they were juuusst so, and the hints on the screen would give the clue that we’d already solved, instead of helping us figure out what was actually wrong with the mechanics of the puzzle. there’s also nothing to jot notes down on, which seems like a small thing, but we’ve got our escape room flow down where one of us breaks a code, jots down the notes, and passes it off to another to input in the right place. maybe that’s just us, and we should be able to do it by memory, but it really made it less enjoyable for us. I also didn’t see it mention beforehand that there would be a lot of climbing stairs and other accessibility issues, so with my chronic illness, that slowed us down. it’s definitely not wheelchair accessible. it’s also very dark. they allow the use of flashlights, so that can help some. (when did I get old?) we did escape, so there’s that! sorry, dinos—you’ll have to snack on somebody else instead lol. Tl;dr atmosphere/storytelling 5/5 puzzle mechanics 2.5/5 puzzle ideas 4/5 physical accessibility 2/5 overall: 3 dino nuggets out of 5 would recommend if you know beforehand that there are some awkward aspects that the company could work on.
