Artemis the Amazing finally has his big break! He has been a struggling magician for years...the joke of the industry. However, he has his big break TONIGHT. He gets to perform on the largest stage with a performance that could change his entire career. Unfortunately, an hour before he is suppose to step on the stage his partner is missing, Leroy. Leroy is his big finale, Leroy is the act that will wow the audience and ensure Artemis' name on the marquee. Leroy also happens to be a rabbit and has disappeared...for real, no smoke and mirrors here. Artemis has checked the entire venue and has asked you, the stage hands, to search backstage to help find Leroy. His career depends on it.

234 escape rooms

Rating: 2.5/5 - Basic, small room but not bad Pros: ➕Decent variety of puzzles and many fit the theme ➕Mix of locks and tech, more tech than most of their other rooms ➕Room looked decent with a lot of magic themed props ➕There is a bonus puzzle ➕GM was helpful when needed Could be better: ➖Puzzles were mostly forgettable ➖Ending is unsatisfying because you never actually find Leroy, just his food (this is not a spoiler as the GM tells you at the beginning what you're going to find). ➖They're old school and require you to lock up your phone and don't allow unlimited hints or nudges. They take themselves a bit too seriously and don't seem to value having fun like most other escape rooms nowadays. Cons: ➖Only a single room and it's very small ➖Too many locks of the same type, so you have to try the combination on multiple until you found the right lock. ➖One multi-step puzzle was convoluted, not sure how anyone would be able to solve it without a hint. ➖One puzzle required brute forcing the order of digits, I confirmed with the GM that the brute forcing is how the puzzle was designed. It's small room, I wouldn't recommend more than 2-3 players. We used all the hints and escaped with 5 min left. My ranking of Rugged Xscape rooms I've played, however I don't really recommend any room here, I enjoyed my time a lot more at Mission Breakout Lafayette. 1. The Morgue - 3/5 👍 2. Boiler Room - 2.5/5 👍 3. Vanishing Act - 2.5/5 👍 4. Revenge of Dr. Evil - 2/5 👎 5. Jurassic Island - 2/5 👎
