I feel really bad giving this room a thumbs down, I wanted to like it, but we just happened to have multiple glitches on the day we played. The sound was very low and hard to hear and I think at least two high tech puzzles were not working. I'm confused how we escaped without completing them. The GM was verrrry apologetic (especially since we had already played four other rooms with them this week and had great experiences). I saw the repair men going into the room after we left, so hopefully, the next players have a better experience. Escapology Carlsbad has great rooms, so we are still excited to play two more rooms with them this week.
I wanted to like the game, but there were too many glitches to fairly evaluate the room's flow and fun-factor.
The props were all in theme and very well integrated.
The Escapology employees are terrific! They are very welcoming, accommodating, and funny. The GM was verrrry apologetic about the glitches and comped us with free passes to play another game tomorrow.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
I liked the Batman theme. I think this is my first super hero room.
The decorations were great. Escapology does a great job with decor in all of their rooms.
This is a tough question to answer. I would rate it as on the hard side of medium. However, we had at least two puzzles glitch (literally we skipped over them) but somehow we still escaped (with 29:23 remaining). So perhaps the room would have been harder if those puzzles had been functioning?
The room had a mixture of both, but slightly more tech.
This was my 36th escape room (31W - 5L) so I still consider myself a bit of a newbie (I probably always will...). I played with five other players with similar statistics ranging in age from 11 to 58. There were times when some of our players were standing around so four players might be ideal.
The room was not scary at all
The Batman theme was a fun idea
One box appeared to be open before the game started (not sure if this was intentional), a drawer didn't close (not sure if it was supposed to), and we never solved two major puzzles but somehow still escaped (with 29:23 remaining). I think the repair men went in after we exited so the room will probably be fine for the next players. The GM was verrry apologetic and gave us passes to play another one of their rooms tomorrow.
No live actors, thank goodness.
Physically active
Somewhat
Mostly just walking around, nothing strenuous.
Accessibility
The room is probably large enough for a wheelchair, but there is a need for auditory, visual, and color abilities.
Lots of mall parking. Plus there are lots of restaurants nearby if you book multiple rooms and need a snack in between.
