The Spam Sham Scam Jam!

Fun puzzle heavy room. Non linear and kept us all busy

Overall not too bad… we did have a couple mishaps where things that were suppose to happen didn’t happen. Our game master was patient and worked with us to help get through!

I’m not really sure what to think or say about this one. It was interesting and had a lot to do, but not one I really enjoyed. I was pretty frustrated for most of it even though we escaped

Puzzlescape has been a fixture of the local mass escape room scene for a while, with a large number of games and an emphasis on puzzling and ongoing characters. Unfortunately, while they are typically great, this game was a massive misstep. The game design is consistently frustrating, often requiring too many convoluted steps that are blandly written out. While they occasionally make use of thematic props, they tend to feel extremely out of place in the game world. The set is bland and unexciting, with little in the way of immersion. Ultimately, Scam Sham felt like a bad escape room bloated to 90 minutes by frustrating, nonsense process puzzles. Puzzlescape has done better and I’m sure they will either improve this game or continue to build experiences on par with their past games. For now, this game should be avoided in favor of Something Wicked or Legend of Pepe.
