We had to repeat our request for help three times before the GM answered. One puzzle was broken, and it took five minutes for anyone to greet us after escaping. The set design was okay but overall not a very memorable or impressive room.

Below Ground: A criminal organization is plotting to blow up a mine to cover up a heist. We had to sneak in and find a way to stop them. Valley of the Kings: Buried deep in an ancient Egyptian tomb, a secret artifact and an ancient curse awaited our discovery. Pros: The doors to the rooms were the BEST we have ever seen. Seriously super cool. We loved them. Kudos to the designer. The storylines were creative and the set designs clearly aligned with the theme. We especially liked the set in Valley of the Kings. We found ourselves stuck in the first room for a long time due to our lack of perception. In due time, we put two and two together to solve the first major puzzle. We quickly worked our way through the proceeding rooms and eventually solved the final mystery. The puzzles flowed smoothly and we succeeded with no hints. We were less skilled in our gameplay in Below Ground, however. See comments below. Cons: A few glitches with the tech in both games slowed us down a bit, but we recovered quickly thanks to the attentiveness of our gamemaster. We struggled quite a bit in Below Ground mostly as a result of number overload. Most of the puzzles involved numbers and we had trouble identifying puzzles with associated locks. We needed more hints than usual as a result. Thank you to our gamemaster for keeping us on track. We loved playing at Puzzle Room Reno and look forward to playing the rest of their games in the future!

The game host would not assisted us through the puzzle just kept repeating the same thing. Sometimes she never even answered us. We ended up just walking out with 30 mins left. Worst escape room experience I have ever had.

Typical Puzzle Room experience, worn down pieces, disengaged game master, and non-themed locks. There is a Q&A puzzle that was fun but one of the questions used an answer with a wrong date. One puzzle is broken to the point that they have a note to call the GM when it doesn't trigger. Our kids enjoyed it because there were some fun props to play with.

Not a very fun or exciting theme, and the puzzles were not terribly connected to the room theme or story. It was a just a mine shaft where we opened some locks. Very difficult room because of some multi-part puzzles but not really worth it for me. I've heard they revamped the room but I'm not too eager to go back to it.

Pretty bogstandard room. Probably wouldn't be too bad for most, but we wasted ten minutes and multiple hints trying to open a puzzle only for the game master to chime in and say that puzzle is actually broken and give us a work around. Really frustrating.

Very inmemorable. Fairly standard set design, standard puzzles. Nothing special in a good way or a bad way, just, there.
