The Descent

Rating: 3/5 - Likeable room, but not a fan of the repetition and memory Pros: ➕The elevator effect was done well ➕Set looks good with multiple rooms to explore. ➕Some puzzles were fun, many were non-linear so you can split up and stay busy ➕Teamwork required ➕Mostly tech with just a couple of padlocks ➕Good use of lighting and audio ➕GM was friendly though we didn't need any hints Room for improvement: ➖Puzzles are repetitive, you have to solve them multiple times at increasing difficulty. ➖Multiple memory puzzles and they do not provide anything to write with. We played as a team of 3 and finished with plenty of time left. Though I'd probably still recommend 4 since many puzzles need 2 people. No crawling or climbing needed.

Very nonlinear room with multiple puzzles that can be worked on simultaneously which makes it good for a larger group. The set was pretty cool. Nonetheless, not my favourite. Too much repetition in the puzzles.

I had so much fun in this room. You start with quite a challenging puzzle and I do feel like we slightly ‘bottle necked’ at the start. However the experience just got progressively better as we went through. Really satisfying and eclectic puzzle design. The finish on the overall look of the room was well executed and fun. Definitely would recommend, and I’ll be back to try the rest of the games at the venue.

🛗 Another cool theme from RSG- I always appreciate the level of immersion their sets have. This one was advertised as “motion based” but it’s only for the beginning portion. I get nauseous on rollercoasters but was totally fine! All the RSG rooms stand on their own as solid escapes; however, once you’ve played about three of them the repetition in their puzzles becomes apparent. Their points system + non-linear puzzles make them well-suited for bigger groups, otherwise, you might find yourself frustrated at the time-sink tactics in a few of their puzzles. In any case, RSG is nice in that they try to help you along if you get too stuck anywhere!

Fantastic room, the moving parts in this room were so much fun and the puzzles were challenging yet fun at the same time. Easily a top room in the GTA

Amazing set design, immersive experience, and many cool props. However, the puzzles are quite similar and often rely heavily on memory skills.

I loved this experience! The beginning part is motion based (very bumpy!) - 2 escapers of out of 4 team had to be out for this portion. This was difficult because only 2 of us can work on the puzzles and 4 is recommended (time cost! we did manage to complete it). The rest of the experience- absolutely amazing! The rooms, puzzles, props are just stunning! This is my fave at RSG (maybe overall) - strongly recommended (better if you don't experience motion sickness!)

Loved the room and had a wide varied amount of puzzles that all felt fair. Set design as always really solid at RSG. The experience starts with a jerky “descending” elevator which is a lot of fun but obviously not for everyone so keep that in mind.

Point based escape room. Fun challenging puzzles. Great staff.

It's hard to compare this to traditional escape rooms because it's very different, but we had a lot of fun. This is not a room for those most interested in set design and/or immersion. This is a puzzle-driven race against the clock. As a group of 5 experienced players, we were able to divide and conquer. Caution: The game involves abrupt movement, so it may not be appropriate for those who get motion sickness.
