This was a great escape room it was hard to do because you got little to no clues at all and there were multiple rooms which i love about an escape room.

Solid 90 minute room. The story length is good, lots of good puzzles and challenges. Several with some clever extra steps. Really great production value. Great set and everything worked well. Just one small issue with some coloring that they likely fixed after we pointed it out.

This is a good game that has potential to be great. An A level game that trips over itself, throwing it into a mediocre, B category. The rooms were beautiful. A lot of time and effort were put into making these rooms look the part. There were lots of prop use and high tech clues/locks. Unfortunately, the game had many issues with this tech. On four separate occasions the mechanisms didn’t work and the gamemaster had to stop the game and physically make it work. That really pulled us out of the game. The ending also fell flat. They had an opportunity to end it really beautifully but missed the mark. This could be an easy fix though. The biggest issue for us though is that the room is full of red herrings, things designed to waste your time and trick you into thinking it’s part of the game. The game master confirmed this afterwards. I’m not sure why companies do this…anyone who’s played lots of rooms hates red herrings. Again, beautiful escape room, lots of cool clues. Could have been in my top 20 (I’ve played hundreds), but it trips over itself. This game could be improved greatly just by making sure everything works and removing the red herrings.
