31 escape rooms
This was one challenging - appropriate for the theme! You are initially split into 2 chambers which sets the tone for the need to be able to work in non-linear/parallel gameplay. 4 experienced people is an ideal set up for this room. The puzzles had a good creative variety. Our gamemaster was involved in our success and alert to our progress.
