Cant believe how disappointing this room was, im going to go on a rant because i have a lot to say
for starters, the staff only gives you 75 min for the room, not 90. but the room really should be 120 min long because theres SO much to do. so why take away 15 min even though its advertised as 90? i’ll come back to this
The room is horribly littered with unnecessary cut scenes that eat up too much of your time, and loud audio descriptions that annoy you or are just overall unhelpful (and are borderline offensive)
the puzzles mostly consist of a keypad and entering in a number, which is ridiculously juvenile considering the lengths you have to go to in order to understand and decipher the code needed. the puzzles arent just boring, theyre also difficult in all the worst ways. there are a few puzzles that are interesting but nothing at all that stands out. which is a shame because the theme-ing of this room is fantastic
(not a spoiler) theres one part where you have to watch a LONG video to tell you how to complete a puzzle, but its so long with so many instructions that it isnt helpful and it defeats the purpose, not to mention you LITERALLY are being told the answer, it makes it all feel pointless
and thats what clicked with me, no wonder they only give you 75 min - they keep the last 15 to walk you through the entire rest of the game because NO ONE IS COMPLETING IT
this is easily the worst room at Omventure (both locations), which is fine because they have a TON of great rooms but this one needs serious work. my group and i went within the first month of this room release so im sure it needs more feedback, but this room clearly was not tested enough
it needs to be 120 min long, 1/3 of the puzzles need to be ENTIRELY removed and the other 2/3 need to be refined (not simpler, just refined). the atmosphere overall is fine but also isn’t anything to write home about. i had hoped for better but it is what it is
2/10 - i wouldnt recommend this room until SERIOUS changes are made. at the moment the room sucks, but it has so much potential to be something great
