Really liked the creativity of connecting room with Detroit. Didn’t like that it seemed like the majority of puzzles were given to you at the start so you weren’t progressively getting more and more puzzles as you went through.
Gameplay
Connected room with Detroit, which made for a cool experience. You’re in one room the whole time and the moderator was pretty involved. Fun game, a little chaotic with a big group. You’re given a lot of puzzles at the very beginning and they could kind of go in any order. In a way, it was good for us because most people could work on something, but it was really hard to keep up with everything going on at once. Still, game flowed pretty well and everyone left having participated in at least a few puzzles.
Atmosphere
Props and set were cool. Lots of antique-y 1920s style decor. Only one room, but cool trap that opens up. No amazing special effects, but everything kept with the theme well. Pretty immersive other than being given lots of hints.
Customer service
Person at the front was the same person that helped us with our room. Super nice and helpful.
Particularly interesting or different
Connected the room to actual events in Detroit, which was great.
Story
Story was good, built on actual events.

A lot happened audibly, so it made it a little hard to follow everything you were supposed to listen to, but otherwise puzzles were pretty straightforward.
