Dr. Steem built automatons to take over the town under the guise of “progress”. He had fooled the townspeople, despite yer best efforts to get them to see the truth. When you poked around too much, he framed you and soiled your good name. The townspeople finally discovered the truth and captured Dr. Steem, but it was too late. His automatons sprung him loose from jail, and now he’s out for revenge. He loaded a train with dynamite, and it’s headed for town! It’s time to pony up and save your beloved town. That train ain’t gonna stop itself! Board Dr. Steem’s train while hurtling through the wild west. Make your way through train cars filled with mechanical puzzles aimed at stopping you dead in your tracks. Gunslinging alone won’t help ya. Better put your thinking cap on for this one, pardner!

I'd done one VR room before that was all shooting (in space! with Star Trek Discovery characters!) so this one with puzzle elements really intrigued me. We were there right at opening! VR games take a bit more time to set up with all the gadgets, and the owner was so friendly, and patient with us. The game itself blew us away! The immersion was top notch, as I guess you'd hope for/expect in VR, but we were 100% engaged. The puzzles were so clever and fun, and really took advantage of the technology - you just couldn't do these puzzles in a "real life" traditional setting, without a movie studio budget. It reminded me of an old school game, Myst, the way you had no instructions but gradually figured out the puzzle interacting with things. Oh, there is a lil bit of pew pew pew shooting that even we the uncoordinated non-gamers had fun with, if that makes you happy. Overall, one of the best escape room experiences I've ever had. Highly recommend trying it!

VR puzzle solving - this was my first so I guess it was novel to me!

It's VR, that's high tech to me!

I think 2 experts would have no problem, but three or four would finish much faster. More than 4 might get a little crowded in that space, but if everyone's friendly, it's fine!
