I rate this room a 2/5 (ck out my bio for rating system). The set and theme earned ½ point, just not that much to look at and not that interesting of a theme. The puzzles were average, maybe a couple that were somewhat novel but nothing too memorable. Very lock and PAPER heavy. Definitely not a fan of a bunch of reading material that serves no purpose but occasionally does and you have to figure out if it does. You also have to try to figure out which clue goes to which number lock and this was a feat itself since there were so many number locks! I give it another ½ point for my enjoyment as you can probably guess based on the review. My least favorite of their 4 rooms (as of this review date).
