I gave this a like but a part of me wanted to give it a love. Objectively, it's not quite good enough to be a love room, but it has a lot going for it: Really nice gamemaster Logical puzzles that were mostly fun to solve No task puzzles, where you know how to solve it but execution is difficult (these are not my jam) While generally low budget, they did a nice job with the decor and special effects given the budget. While this was their easier room, it was plenty difficult for the 2 of us, who used the entire hour to get out with 1 clue. (The other reviewer who set the record with 26 minutes didn't mention there were 7 of them! lol) And not to be a big city snob, but this room is certainly better than one might expect from a small town escape room. Downsides are minimal: The use of one prop twice, which was annoying when we were told 1 key, 1 lock, which I (mistakenly) took to also mean props would only be used once. Even if that weren't the rule, that prop shouldn't be reused and they should find a different way to clue that part. It's a very gen 1 room. For a magic room, one might reasonably expect more "magic." The scale is pretty small. There's nothing that's going to wow you. Overall, I would certainly recommend it and come back with a bigger team to do their more difficult room.

Very good room. Immersive props, simple yet challenging puzzles, and a great story. We set the all time record, taking only 26 minutes and 15 seconds… try to beat our time ;)
