King of the Rings

Honestly, we did this room because we ran out of rooms to play in Northwest Arkansas and we were bored and thought why not do it. We went in knowing it might not be good based on our experience playing their other rooms. I will say that this was one of their better rooms but with that said, there are still much better escape rooms in Northwest Arkansas. Here is the actual review: The hint system is still the worst. You have to wait for the GM to come into the room. The GM might even come unprompted which happened to us. She came when we had about 30 minutes left and about 15 minutes left. We didn’t ask for her to come but she came anyway. If you don’t like riddles then this isn’t the escape room for you. Riddles are the worst in escape rooms because either you get them or you don’t. There was 1 lock that we had never seen before and when the GM came into the room she explained how to unlock it. It wasn’t a directional lock if that’s what you’re thinking, it was a different kind of lock. Anyways, for the very last puzzle the GM basically had to do it for us because everything had to be lined up perfectly for the lock to work. Anyways, I would still say to only play games at NWA Escape Room in Fayetteville and Bentonville *IF* you have played all the other rooms around the Northwest Arkansas area.

The game was fine and enjoyable! Our family of five from ages 10-50 had fun. I didn’t like the only way to get clues was when the live game master came into the room.
