This probably wasn’t the ideal room to try solo, as you start the game divided, and the GM hadn’t been prepped by management on how to handle this…this made the beginning a bit of a cluster. Fun theme, though…main downsides were the dim lighting and plethora of metal locks…these are a disastrous combination. I definitely took longer than an hour to get out, but the GM padded my time since I was playing solo, so not sure whether to call this a win or not.

Only giving this a “somewhat” due to bags over head and someone being chained up at the onset
Accessibility
I don’t know how people were meant to see the metal tumbler locks without a light source; I had to ask to use the light on my phone, and even then it was difficult to open locks when I had the correct code verified. Struggling to see is not fun…I ran into the same issue with Riddled last year, to the point the GM had to come in and open a lock for me. Metal locks and dim lighting are a horrible combo.
