This room was a bummer. The theme sounded so fun, but the room did not live up to the hype. There were no “ahhhh” moments, just “oh…”. There was just no flow. The room was boring, the puzzles were boring and disappointing.

We played as a pair and thought this room was ok. It didn't wow us at all, but it wasn't bad. The set was mediocre. Puzzles were fine. We struggled a bit with two of them, but iirc we didn't use any hints. I wouldn't recommend this room for newer players... def play Sasquatch instead.

We were SO excited for this room; unfortunately it did not live up to the hype. It had so much potential and sadly it just fell short for us. We appreciated the extra time given by the GM to complete the room. Hopefully they’ll update some of the locks and materials to make solving a little easier.

Gameplay

Gameplay didn’t align with the theme.

Atmosphere

Design seemed random and props were an afterthought

Customer service

GM seemed annoyed with us, but did give extra time to complete the room.
