The Haunted Motel

This is arguably the best room there. The set was pretty good, utilizing lights and sounds. There were a couple of good puzzles, but I felt that the room lacked signposting and many of the puzzles were not intuitive. This room also suffers from the same thing that their other two rooms suffered from, which is that sometimes it was not obvious what a completed puzzle has triggered. That said, I enjoyed the room and if you’re in town, it’s worth checking out. This place should do well with all of the tourists.

This was (barely) my favorite game at Elevation. Now, as mentioned in my other reviews, none of Elevation’s games are very impressive. All very middle of the road games. This game definitely has the best set design, feeling pretty similar to an actual cheap motel room. Puzzles were fine, admittedly there was some stuff I hadn’t seen before, though the execution could have been a little better in my opinion. Now, the problem with this game and all of elevation’s for that matter, but this one especially is it was often very unclear what happened when you solved something. Which got very frustrating.

New place nearby, had to check it out and we'll be back for their other two rooms. They were great at communicating and very nice. The room was we'll decorated with lots of cool features. It was pretty mechanical and we missed some trigger sounds that slowed us down but it worked out. Some of the puzzles were unique, especially the final grouping.
