Rating: 3/5 - Decent theming and puzzles, but showing some wear Pros: ➕They made an effort to decorate the set floor to ceiling to fit the theme. It's not high budget or quality but there is a space ship vibe. There are screens, lots of panels & switches, and LED lighting. ➕Puzzles were enjoyable with a nice variety, not too hard. Everything seemed fair and made sense (careful not to overthink). Seemed like there was a lot to do, it was fairly non-linear. ➕It was a mix of tech and combo locks along with some tactile/physical interactions. ➕Some teamwork puzzles ➕More than a single room to explore ➕Room was well lit, didn't need flashlights ➕Story videos were well done along with some amusing interactions with a voice-over character, pre-recorded hints are delivered via that character. Cons: ➖Set and props are showing a lot of wear and tear, it needs a refresh. ➖Public bookings ➖Only 3 hints, but I'm not sure if they are strict on this. ➖General vibe of this place feels like it's stuck in 2015. ➖Distracting noise leakage for the neighboring room. Some crawling is required, but no running or climbing. As a team of 2, there was a lot to do and we did not escape, especially because of the teamwork puzzles and non-linearity. We needed maybe 5 more minutes to finish the final sequence. I would recommend 4-5 players making sure you divide and conquer.
