Pixel Planet

Pixel Planet is a low budget, second generation escape room. It had some cool set pieces, but the puzzle flow was very linear. It was set up to appear non-linear but we were nudged back onto the path if we tried to deviate from it. The GM/actor really heightened the game experience and it was a good thing they were included. The props and setting are all cheaply done, with little sense of wonder when exploring. The puzzles were not too difficult though there were a few times we needed some help. The theme was definitely Minecraft, Minecraft, Minecraft and the final boss was very challenging until we figured out a cheat. If they upgrade some of the puzzles, like the cheaply done farm animals, and the magic tree this could be an even better experience. The crafting table was awesome, best part of the experience. Would have been nice to make the room even more blocky, as many of the decorations and set pieces didn't feel pixel or blocky enough. Overall, we had a decent experience as overall it was fun. I brought my kids and we had a fun time together. Not in the top escape rooms I've done, but not in the bottom either.

Room felt very underwhelming in immersion like some hobbiest setup their home up for a kids birthday party and not a full production room for an escape business. Very cheap feeling with cheap bare room designs. You will feel unimpressed with the overall design. If you are a minecraft fan you'll get the subtle theming attempts. NPC tried his hardest but fell short when it comes to the feel of the room atmosphere. Many Props were broken. The finally puzzle task was very difficult to operate since it was hard to control and broken. GM had to reset the system at least once to get the proper to turn on. Puzzles were very simple and just remedial tasks to complete. For the high price paid for a 90 minute room, I didn't even bother wanting to ask for a refund since I wouldn't want to go back to that place again any ways.
