Mark as done to rate

You are professional thieves, the best in the country. You were recently contacted by two ex-employees of Big Al’s Pawn Shop who told you of an opportunity to make millions. According to them, Big Al just acquired a pocket watch that is worth a lot of money. They hired you to sneak into the Pawn Shop to steal the pocket watch. They’ve hacked the security system and disabled the alarms, but only for a short time. You’ll have 60 minutes before the silent alarms are re-activate and the cops come!

Overall, did not enjoy this room. Poor flow, very discombobulated, props were very worn, very dark so flashlights needed, but flashlights stopped working (dead batteries), including dead UV, when most of the room needed the UV. Broken props, broken room fixtures. Room felt very dirty overall.

Gameplay

Not a good flow

Atmosphere

Very dark, moderately dirty, most props worn/beat up

This is a decent room woth good puzzles amd an excellent feeling. The decorations are good, save the cheese christmas style brick paper stapled to the "alley" walls. Once you get past that, this toom is solid. Unlikemost.of.our GMs, this kid was pretty good, even doing voices when he chimed in to talk to us. We took a couple newbie escaperoom players with us and they really enjoyed it. I'd say the challenge level is medium for Vets, but it's a top 10 newbie level game.

Had a great time in this room at the Princeton location. The room definitely feels like a real pawn shop. Playing as robbers is a fun theme because you would never get to do something like this in real life. Went with a group that was a mix of beginners and veterans, everyone had a great time. Our game master Maya was so wonderful. She made us feel very welcome with it being our first time at this location. She explained rules concisely without dragging on too long, which was great considering some of us has heard the same speech so many times lol. I have been to other amazing escapes and it usually takes about 1-2 minutes to get a hint, which is fine. But with maya it was like 5 seconds max. And the hints were soooo helpful. Definitely coming back!! If you go, call and ask for Maya. Especially if you’re a beginner.

Gameplay

Gameplay was engaging. However, being a dark room. Some of the stuff was a bit unclear.

Atmosphere

Definitely felt like a dingy pawn shop. LOL.

Customer service

My GM was Maya who was so lovely and welcoming. I’ve been to a number of amazing escapes locations and she was by far the best game master I have had. She gave us hints exactly when we needed them with no delay! Love to see people who truly care about their jobs. Definitely booking another experience, possibly for my coworkers as well.

Particularly interesting or different

No

it wasn’t anything crazy considering it is an older room (I think they said it’s been there for 3+ years) but its a solid experience.
