Lost City

Rating: 3.5/5 - Enjoyable room with decent set and tech Pros: ➕I liked the set, atmosphere was appropriate, though not the best jungle set I've seen ➕Puzzles and flow were decent, no significant red herrings or annoying puzzles ➕Multiple rooms ➕Some tech mixed with padlocks and number pads ➕Friendly game master ➕Writing tablet was provided and the provided flashlights were actually bright and usable Meh: ➖No significant memorable moments or reveals ➖Puzzles weren't bad, but they just weren't that fun or unique overall ➖The locks used did not fit the theme and felt out of place Cons: ➖Normally I don't discuss value but the price of the rooms at this location is too high for what you get, fortunately we used a discount code for weekday games I would recommend 2-3 enthusiasts, maybe 4 if you are newbies. There isn't that much to do at once. Update: My ranking of all Escapology rooms I've played (multiple locations). 1. A Pirate's Curse - 3.5/5 2. Scooby-Doo - 3.5/5 3. Lost City - 3.5/5 4. Star Trek: Quantum Filament - 3/5 5. Th3 C0D3 - 3/5

This was another room of Escapology’s that I felt we were doing worse than our time reflects. We spent a lot of time spinning our wheels and there was one point where we completed the same puzzle twice, because we thought we had it wrong and then redid it and realized we put it together the exact same way. Many of the “codes” to complete the puzzles were found in the journal mentioned in the description which made finding what we needed to easy, but did take away some of the fun of finding the clues. We used around 3 clues, but one I don’t want to count because the lock was confusing (no spoilers, but it was a bit frustrating to have an answer that doesn’t fit the lock). I think this set was the best set of the three rooms I have played at this location. It was also the storyline that I found the most intriguing.
