Tons of sensors involved in this room, and everything worked really smoothly! The atmosphere is great, you feel like you’re in a small cowboy town; however, it also felt pretty sterile. There were very few decor elements that weren’t used in puzzle solving, so finding the clues felt pretty simple. Excellent theatrics though!

Game was alright, I liked the set a lot but was not a big fan of the puzzles. The ending wasn’t great imo it seemed like they ran out of money, imagination, or space.

Had one puzzle not work that made it impossible to get the correct solution code. GM just gave us the code to it and at the end of the game he said “oh yeah someone must have messed with this”

Rattlesnake Bend was my favorite room at Bust Out; it felt notably more modern than their other games, both in set design and interactions. One piece of tech was a little fiddly (lights didn't consistently trigger), but did not impede solving.

As far as Old West games go, this one is kind of adorable. The set is simple but still very effective, and the puzzles here are good as well. There’s a sense of humor here that put me in a good mood. We did this room with 4 enthusiasts, and I feel like 4 beginners might still be fine here. Great room!

Rattlesnake Bend is a very fun Western themed escape room, complete with a mini town to explore. I really loved the theme and puzzles in this game. The game incorporates a diverse mix of puzzle types that come together for a very engaging experience. The story and characters are fun and add to the experience. Great for all ages, and beginners and experienced players alike.

Some puzzles and locks require getting close to the ground.
There are a few color based puzzles that will be difficult for colorblind players.

One of the better “wild west” themes I’ve seen — the story is amusing and the puzzle flow is smooth. It looks more nonlinear than it is, so a smaller group would be better than a larger group, but you’ll need at least 2. Several of the puzzles have multiple layers so communication and observation are key skills. The set is very nice; my only complaint is that the ending is anticlimactic, but that’s a small thing. Recommended.

I think this was my favorite game at this location. A lot of fun and satisfying puzzles that my group really vibed with. Wonderful set! The preshow was ADORABLE! I just had a truly great experience with this one even if we blew through it fast than I would’ve normally liked.

A great room, especially for a less experienced group. It was just challenging enough to make it fun and everyone (6 in our group) could be involved.

This was an immersive game with excellent set design. The puzzles lacked a bit in this one. Some repetitive sequence type tasks as well an a few puzzles that lacked clear clueing and direction made for a few frustrating moments in the game. But overall, I did enjoy it.
