This room has an interesting concept that is poorly executed. The room has very minimal theming and props, little atmosphere and everything is in need of some TLC and a refresh. It is not a linear game and very little about the game play is intuitive so it is frequently not evident what you should be doing next or doing at all. You are limited to 5 hints which is normally way more than we need in a good room. Five didn't begin to scratch the surface of how many hints might be needed to successfully complete this room. We have played and escaped from more than 80 rooms and when time expired here we still had 4 unopened locks. The room is 100% old school locks. Each puzzle solved gives you a lock code. There is nothing high-tech here and zero special effects. If you want to experience a top-notch brain-themed escape room, play Dream at Escape Artists in Baldwin Park.
Gameplay
The gameplay was not linear or intuitive. There was no flow and it was often confusing.
Atmosphere
Very little in the way of theming or props. No special effects or atmosphere. Most props and set pieces were in sad shape.
Customer service
Staff was nice.

Story
Something about two side of the brain. Story was not carried through in theming or set design.
Difficulty
Hard
Hard because some puzzles were needless timesinks that used up a lot of time just to get a lock code. Some were hard because pieces or props were in poor condition. There was also no flow to gameplay which made it challenging to know what to do next.

100% locks. 100% mechanical.

Four or more so some people could do nothing but work the puzzles that take 20 minutes to put together.

Wow where to begin? The game master was friendly. That’s where the positives end. Theming? Terrible in over 100 games played this was the worst I’ve ever seen. Puzzles? Terrible. Just a bunch of pad locks strung together with no thought or care. Technology? Non-existent. Everything was lock driven. Overall: easily amongst the worst games I’ve ever played. Honestly I feel ripped off that we paid for this.
Gameplay
The puzzles didn’t really flow, fit a cohesive narrative, or fit with the theming of the game. 100% combination locks with no technology.
Atmosphere
Terrible. The worst I’ve ever seen in over 100 escape rooms played. There is a solid white room with dirty walls. A red, yellow, and blue room. And a solid black room that’s literally empty save a single rusting file cabinet. To summarize there was no meaningful theming at all.
Customer service
Game master was friendly and helpful

This was easily the least creative, least imaginative, poorest thought out game I’ve ever played in over 100+ games. It’s truly embarrassingly bad.

This was my first ever room and I’m glad it was. While I enjoyed it, I’m not sure that would have been the case if it had followed some of the amazingly immersive rooms I’ve played since. The room felt a bit neglected/out of date. A bunch of the locks were extremely fiddly and didn’t work correctly, even when the correct code was entered. Low light also becomes a factor. Lots of lessons were learned, but it was still a fun experience overall.

Room was interesting in concept but too easy in most cases while being overly complicated in others. Our game master poorly explained how to do a puzzle that none of us could possibly understand and ultimately caused us to nearly not make it out.

This room while a unique theme was just alright. There was one puzzle that was sort of neat and challenging. However the other puzzles were just alright. Overall I haven’t had a desire to go back to try another room there.
