Overall a very meh game, I had a good time because of the company I had with me rather than the room itself. Very lock and key heavy, only one puzzle didn't involve typing in some sort of code. I asked if the room was linear or non-linear, and it quickly because obvious that the non-linear portion of it was only the very beginning, everything else was opening something to get something else. I didn't feel like we really solved anything, we were with three (and a half (the baby was cute, but not very interested in helping)) newbies, making a total of 5.5 of us. We never asked for clues so much as got promoted for the operator to help guide us in the right direction. Guiding us included less fun cryptic hints to help lead us to the answer on our own, and more stopping us before we did anything to make sure we were doing the right thing first, taking away the joy of solving something. This room was supposedly their easiest, I would hate to see the others when the challenge comes from a sheer amount of number and word codes packed into one room.
Gameplay
Very lock and key heavy. One interesting puzzle.
Atmosphere
The outdoor area you start in was okay, and the art looked nice, but it didn't feel like much work went into building the room itself.
Customer service
The GM was super kind, perhaps to a fault
Particularly interesting or different
No
Story
The story was interesting, it's like a reverse heist - big Leverage vibes. I wish the puzzles were more interactive about that.
Difficulty
Hard
Supposedly their easiest room, be prepared for a set of codes with little in-game guidance between them, expect to rely on your operator or make some big leaps of logic.

Ideal number of players
4
I would say you could do this room easy with two, but as mentioned, the leaps of logic you have to take involve having a bigger team to help make them.
