Very linear room wouldn’t have more than 4-5 in the room. Room theming was good but you can tell it has been well loved. Gamemaster was super friendly. Other rooms here are also well done. Recommendation for more newbies.

Pretty barebones room; decor and atmosphere were lacking. Puzzles were largely fine except one was broken due to two locks being switched by the employee resetting the room. Fine if you want to do every room in the nyc area, but there’s nothing special here. 2/5

Gameplay

Fine. One puzzle was broken because a lock was placed in the wrong place.

Atmosphere

Quite low budget. Decor really ought to be better. Hints delivered via walkie talkie.

Overall medium difficulty room. Nice play, linear flow. A couple of misses: one red herring, one very far-fetched puzzle that is tough to complete without a clue, and one puzzle that looked unnecessarily complicated. Overall nice experience but not the challenge level we were hoping for.
