This was my first time experiencing Escape Room 831’s selection and I was very pleased! The best part of the experience by far is the room theming and immersion. It’s a perfect complement to the Cannery Row exterior with references to the wharf outside. The scares were also well put-together and enjoyably placed throughout the entirety of the room. The audio was excellent; nothing seemed too quiet or off. I felt that the room relied a little too heavily on combination locks. Gameplay flow was hampered often solving puzzles; it was clear when a puzzle was solved, but finding what changed in the room felt stretched. I would appreciate more clear signals, such as audio cues or an activated glowing widget for certain parts indicating a change based on the action the player’s made. I injured myself with one of the physical interactions necessary in this room. While the GMs were incredibly nice to accommodate afterwards, I would’ve preferred the mechanical effect associated with this to be disabled when actually interacting with it.

I wasn't affected by the scares but it was definitely intended as a scary room.
