The AC in all rooms here is set pretty warm, so don't bring your winter gear. The puzzles in this room were novel and fresh. There were a couple that might be done in a more clear fashion, but overall top notch.

I had a lot of fun!!! I haven’t had a theme like this yet and I just had fun! It wasn’t hard but there is a lot to do so I would get a group or bring your family! It was overall fun and a super detailed room!! We didn’t ask for hints because the game had such a good flow and the puzzles are very well placed!

Strong room. Fun design with varied puzzles. Good for four or five who want to divide and conquer.

It was our first experience with another group, as rooms are not private at this location. The room itself was decent, all the puzzles felt very logical, and is semi-linear. The other group we were with had little experience, so I think this caused the GM to give out hints a bit more liberally than normal. But overall, I think this is a good room, but not my favorite room by the Escape Game.

Gameplay

I think this is one of their better rooms, but there isn't any puzzle in particular that was unique

Atmosphere

Set design was decent! But you could definitely still tell that it's very "room-y", rather than being in an underwater sub.

Customer service

Very welcoming staff! I do think that the GM did give hints too freely though, without us asking.

Enjoyed this room! The set design was great, and nothing was worn out or broken. There were some unique elements we hadn’t seen before.

Gameplay

Gameplay was great. We got stuck a couple times, but not because of bad game design. They were more, “Oh duh, we should’ve thought of that” moments. There were a few puzzles/elements we hadn’t seen before.

Atmosphere

Set design was great and immersive. There were some cool things with screens and lighting too.

Customer service

GM and staff were all great as usual!

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Yes, there were some elements we hadn’t seen before, and it was themed well.

Story

It could’ve been better perhaps, and I say that because I don’t actually remember the story. *shrugs* I was more interested in the puzzles I guess.

Difficulty

Hard

I’d say this room is Medium/Hard. We were kind of off our game and waited too long to ask for help when stuck this time, but we still made it out.

Game tech

High tech

It was about 50/50.

Ideal number of players

I felt like 4 people was a good number for this room, but it would probably be fine with fewer people too. More than 6 would probably get too crowded.

Scary

Not scary

Not scary.

Minimum age

There were a couple puzzles I think would be pretty hard for under 13 y/o.

Was anything broken?

Nothing broken! Nothing even looked very worn out!

Live actors

Only animated.

Physically active

Not at all

Nothing was physically demanding.

Accessibility

This room might be okay depending on the disability, but I don’t think anything was specifically designed to be accessible. I would call ahead and ask.

Easy to find location

Yes

Parking

Easy

There is a parking garage just down the street.

Great room in an immersive atmosphere! Felt like they had the opportunity to do a lot more, but I enjoyed the creativity of the puzzles. Communication is a must!
