This was a fun room that I think would serve as a perfect introduction to escape rooms for new players. For veterans it would be on the easy side, but the sets are well built and the puzzles are solid, so I would recommend it to anyone.
A solid series of puzzles that span riddles, logic puzzles, assembly puzzles, and physical puzzles. Really nice variety. None of the puzzles is very hard to solve and the cluing is clear and straightforward.
The sets are clearly built with love and an eye for detail. The only thing I would say breaks the immersion are the lack of ceiling treatments and the various lighting devices that are just plugged into the wall.
The owner/operator was wonderfully friendly.
Particularly interesting or different
No
A bit of a twist on the usual “ancient Egypt” theme; you are members of an explorers society and a fellow member has disappeared after doing something she wasn’t supposed to do.
Everything solves cleanly and the cluing is extremely clear. I think this would be a great room for introducing new players to escape rooms.
Deliberately mechanical: the owner told us that they felt electronics would not be appropriate given the theme of the room.
We played with 4, which was fine. But two experienced players could do everything and finish in plenty of time. I think more than 4 would be crowded.
Physically active
Not at all
Accessibility
Accessible in terms of getting into the space, but there is one area where I think maneuvering a wheelchair would be difficult. No climbing or crawling required. A lot of very small locks and several puzzles have to be solved on the large flat surfaces they are built into, though stepstools are provided. Finally, one puzzle relies on color, and several puzzles rely on manipulating small objects.
