Operation: X-13

The game didn't flow as smoothly as Trapped's other games, but I liked the immersive scenario use of props and interaction with the GM. (Also caught those Alien references.) With a little puzzle updating, I think this could be even cooler, but it was still a worthwhile room for us.

I think x-13 is a solid room. The theme is corporate espionage so the atmosphere is literally just an office, but I think they did a good job for what it was. Fun little touches with character interactions and the dress up part. GM was good as always at Trapped. Nothing really stood out about it, but I thought the puzzles all made sense in their context and had a decent flow. Note that this has extra puzzles. When the clock hit 60 minutes we were stopped in the middle of an extra puzzle, but it felt weird. We later learned we had finished the main room at about 35 minutes, haha. Only negative about this room is that I think it needs some TLC. One puzzle in particular had obvious wear where the answers were, which I think takes away from it. Also, pretty sure we were missing a sound effect at the end.

Kind of boring, didn't really feel immersed into the world. Felt like a bunch of random puzzles. Linux terminal was cool though. Thinking back on it the puzzles seemed fine but, set design was so boring it took away from the experience.

Lackluster room design and pretty shoddy puzzles make this one in need of an update. The character interactions are super fun, but they're really the only saving grace.

I really wanted to like this room, and was excited to play this one after doing the rabbit hole. There was a few puzzles that didn’t work properly and just threw me off. The beginning my radio didn’t work and the game Master was like oh well we should have done that up front. There was so many papers in the beginning that just didn’t make sense and was overly confusing. The concept of the room was cool but then to find out there are other puzzles that you can do depending on how quickly your doing the room was very frustrating I would like it to be all inclusive.

Room has good immersive tasks that help everyone feel like they are doing an important job. I liked the special cutscenes and consequences for messing up a puzzle or code. GM made it feel like it was an actual mission, and most puzzles made sense in the schema of breaking inside a company. I love the concept of GM comms and special roles for each player. We also got bonus adaptive puzzles because we had finished the room so quickly. The bonus puzzles were just ok, and they delayed the actual exciting and climactic finale. But I still had a good time. Not really a room to travel to like others in the LA area, but I was surprisingly pleased to accept this covert mission. Time to set up us the bomb!

A fabulous heist type escape room that feels really immersive given the set design. I really enjoyed this one although it was slightly challenging for our group. We had quite a few hints through our earpiece that we just weren't catching on with which we needed to get us through and to make it a memorable experience. Well done!

I mean, none of the Trapped rooms are bad, but this one was very bare. Maybe the theme of 'office building' is not my favorite. We actually managed to softlock the game and had to ask the game master for the code to enter a room again. One player was handcuffed to a briefcase the entire game.

Puzzles weren’t reset properly. Some puzzles weren’t exactly intuitive.

I love corporate espionage and had a lot of fun doing this room. Every team has players with different strengths and this room I lead the way. Trapped rooms always fun.
