Cute room with interesting and clever puzzles!

Gameplay

Pretty fun gameplay. It is fairly linear, but that does not make it less fun in the slightest.

Atmosphere

Indeed felt like an alchemist's study, and tied in very well with the lore of the lodge.

Customer service

The staff was lovely as always.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Wandering the halls of the lodge to unlock your way to the Apothecary adds to the excitement of the experience.

Story

Charming little story of needing to find ingredients to an elixir. Very well intigrated to the tasks involved with the room.

Difficulty

Medium

We got hung up on one puzzle, but everything else was easy enough to solve.

Mechanical

Mechanical for the most part. There's a screen that's in the room, but isn't used for any puzzles. It's mainly to help the plot progress as you work through the room.

A small room with a short run time. But the decor is on point and the introduction portion was great, built up a lot of intrigue at what might exist with their other experiences. It also featured a creatively delivered narrative with a touch of humor. The puzzles were appropriately challenging.

We weren’t treated poorly, but this place really lacks the personal touch that I appreciate from an enthusiastic game master. Our welcome was extremely brief and there was literally no debrief with a GM afterwards, which is a bit of a buzzkill.

The game is mainly played in one small room. Any more than 3 would be too much and this could *easily* be done solo.

What an interesting way to start the game! I won’t give anything away but I recommend this game as a simple unique game with a lot of heart and an awesome beginning.

This was the first puzzle room that you had to do a couple puzzles to get into the puzzle room and it was really cool! The puzzles itself were fun and good for a beginner. We had 5 people and that felt like too many people, the room is a little smaller.

The building is SO cool!! Loved it and the post-puzzle room drinks were so creative and fun!

The Lodge of Lazarus Crowe as a whole is so fun. The Apothecary in particular is a well put together and on theme for what it’s supposed to be. It’s a bit small and not too difficult so I wouldn’t recommend it for very large groups. I did it with 3 and thought it was good, it would also be very doable with 2.

We loved this room! Location is incredible. The room's atmosphere was impeccable--the theming and aesthetic was just delightful. My only real complaint is that the room is entirely linear which isn't my preference. It's also very easy but that's not necessarily a problem, just good to know going in. We played with 4 people and it was borderline too many. I think this room would be perfect for 2 people.

The room itself is not physically active but in order to access the room itself, you must go up a flight of stairs.

You must be able to climb a flight of stairs. I don't think there is an elevator but I could be wrong.

A solid room from trapped's new adventure the lodge of Lazarus Crowe which is an old funeral home turned escape room/bar. It's a unique concept to have some shared space where you complete puzzles possibly at the same time as other teams doing different rooms before moving to your dedicated room. The puzzles were very solid and had some unique twists. No old school locks anywhere!!! Only a thumbs up because it was more of a beginners room so you'll probably get out pretty quick too. Still a ton of fun though.

A great first room for the Lodge! Managed to be a stress tester for the room and I really enjoyed the puzzles and just looking at the props prior to the room!
