Puzzle Workshop by UNLOCKED

Mission To The Stars

Escape room

This is a space-themed room that has a story with an interesting twist. While the progression made sense overall, this was a room that felt like the puzzles had tech for the sake of tech, rather than the tech adding to the puzzles. 

There is only one room and while we were initially wowed by the tech around us, it quickly melted into disappointment because a lot of it was very finicky with the controls. It became an issue where it was not challenging because we couldn’t solve the puzzle, but because things just wouldn’t work the way we wanted them to even after multiple tries by different people. We wasted a lot of time just trying to get things to work, even though we knew how to solve it. We were able to finish the room, and even though the story twist was a fun surprise, the frustrating puzzles left a sour taste after we completed the room.

We did this as a group of three, and I think 2-3 people is ideal as the room is on the smaller size. Our GM was very nice, and it was clear she took pride in the rooms. I think the theme was great, production value solid, and the story was interesting, but the integration and execution of the puzzles definitely need work to make the room more enjoyable.

After doing this room, I’ve completed all of Puzzle Workshop. This is their most difficult room. There were some puzzles that had me digging deeper. Many of their puzzles took some time to solve. Be prepared to work with numbers!!!! This experience is story-driven and follows a linear format. There were usually two things my group were able to work on each time. Im not sure if any of the tech were finicky, or if there was a delay after a puzzle was solved, but we noticed after solving a few of the puzzles, it took some time for it to trigger.  During this experience, you are spending all of your time at the bridge of the ship, which is a single room. For the best experience I recommend smaller groups, cause it could get crunchy in there. Not one of my top rooms but still a fun challenging one. Our host, Christa was a joy to talk to afterwards. Thanks!!

Linear, well themed room with unique puzzles. Our group just wanted a space theme and we realized we booked Puzzle Workshop’s hardest room. But hard in a good way, like honestly a good challenge. Blaze is an amazing GM and gave our group the extra time to finish the story (very much appreciated!); maybe we were entertaining enough. Excited to continue the Puzzle Workshop universe to connect and complete their other rooms!

Good room. It was a little confusing and our group needed some direction in the beginning to know what puzzles to do. There was a point in which we had solved the puzzle but nothing happened. Not sure if this glitch is common or not. It was not super intuitive as to what puzzle came next, but overall very high tech and fun!

Very techy room. The puzzles were hard—figuring out what to do was easy but execution was difficult. Frustration was high and could have been mitigated if a notepad were provided. Without a way to take notes, the puzzles felt a bit unfair because there was lots of information to memorize. Still a unique and fun experience.

There were multiple components that had some tech issues. Operator could address those and probably turn this room into a much better one
