Coming from two people that are Escape room fanatics, this is not enjoyable. Puzzles that are not intuitive or even able to be deduced without needing explaining from the game master are ridiculous. Two intelligent and experienced players should not need explanations on 90% of the puzzles. It is complicated for the sake of being complicated. There are few instructions about how puzzles function.

Gameplay

They know the puzzles are not intuitive and NEED hints to be able to figure them out. The game master has pre-prepped hints to share via a tablet to explain how each puzzle functions when you ask. Not 'if', WHEN.

Atmosphere

It could use a second coat of red paint to cover the walls a bit better but we honestly liked the layout and design. The puzzles were just unpleasant and unnecessarily cryptic.

Customer service

The game master was a great guy and super helpful.

Particularly interesting or different

Yes

Different is a nice way to put it. If this was the norm, we'd probably have a different hobby.

You will need to get hints. They designed it to ensure you can't figure out most of the puzzles without hints.

If you want to test your IQ then this is the room for you. Otherwise don't even bother playing it. The puzzles are definitely not typical escape room puzzles and if you really want to do it, then have at it. But be warned, the puzzles are so hard that the game master had a page explaining how to do the puzzles and even then he still couldn't explain how to solve some of the puzzles!!!!! The story is a very ridiculous story as well. When the game master ended our game and told us the full story, I instantly thought I need a drink and some tacos to help me get over this experience we call escape duck. With that said good luck to you guys and I hope you had a better experience than my wife and I!
