Fun room! We did it with 2 people but our game master Fay was attentive and helped us out when we got to the 4 people part. Might be a bit tricky if you're new to escape rooms.

But we did it with 2! It IS possible to do with 2 people, it's just a bit harder.

Fun mix of puzzles types that rely on logic and reasoning. Good game flow and clues seemed to lead to other puzzles in a way that made sense. Not the most exciting room but satisfying to complete.

This room takes the thief trope and breathes a little life into it with some of the really cool puzzles. The room decor is OK but I get wary of rooms that just feel like a decorated office. However the creativity of the game play made it an overall great experience.

Room was operational, no issues with puzzles. It was medium difficulty and while staff were friendly I wouldn't say they were engaged in the experience. This was one of the first rooms we had completed so it was fun and I enjoyed it but looking back on it, there weren't any really exciting unique puzzles.

Fun room! Kept the four of us busy. One good co-op puzzle. Good flow, atmosphere, and story. We’ll be back for the other rooms!👍
