Saboteur

Several puzzles were overcomplicated, locks were sticky, and multiple red herrings.

“Clue” concept is definitely unique amongst escape rooms.

Hard, but only because the solutions require leaps of logic.

Six would be ideal for game play, but room is on the small side.

Several locks were quite finicky.

The main premise - sabotage - has pros and cons. We did the room with two of us, but I don’t see how we would have succeeded if we’d really gone full Player versus player . . . It’s a great idea, but if you take it too seriously I can see how you could lose the room as a group.

The set design was very cohesive. It’s not where I would go for a “buddy” retreat, but if you like hunting, poker, and whiskey I guarantee it’s a paradise! The props were solid and clear to prevent any confusion when working on puzzles.

The team at both Escape Room San Antonio locations is just top notch. Cannot sing their praises enough. Having done (almost, they just released a new one so I need to catch up) all of their rooms every single time I’ve worked with someone who isn’t just there for a JOB, but is truly passionate about escape rooms.

The sabotage and Clue aspects are definitely different. The Player versus Player cards we found were a bit too overpowered in a 2 person scenario, but it was absolutely “interesting and different”.

The Clue aspect was great! The interwoven motives absolutely made sense. Seriously, you could make a movie with this plot and it would turn a profit.

The puzzles in the room were pretty standard for escape rooms with the theme imposed on them. The difficulty is definitely meant to be in the sabotage cards.

It’s hard to say, but 2 is definitely not ideal. What sets this room apart is the sabotage, and with just two people you can’t get away with it. The room is big enough for six in comfort, so that may be closer to the right size.

Not scary at all, unless stuffed animals freak you out.

I’m going to put 15, because there’s a certain maliciousness and calculation that adds the extra element. If you play without sabotage you can go much younger, but that takes some of the fun out of it.

Totally accessible

Definitely fun… not exactly a “flow” as all primary puzzles or clues are presented from the beginning.

Lisa was exceptionally friendly and welcoming. The environment was professional and clean.

Lisa was friendly and exceptional!

We finished with 3. Four may be just right, and any more would be a crowd

Other than standing, moving about the room, and some squatting or bending for a lock, not physically demanding

All one level floor and room, but slight crowded around a center table
