This one was on my wishlist for a long time as I'd heard great things for years. Luckily got a good time slot to do it on my birthday! The theme was super fun and well done, with plenty of puns and tongue in cheek jokes. There were some very unique and unexpected elements, some fun surprises, and just overall very well done and deserving of all the awards and high ratings.
Our game master Tyler was excellent and he threw in a sweet message in the credits.
Can't wait to come back and experience Hatch's other offerings.
Excellent flow, used the entire space, fun and unique elements and puzzles.
Set design perfectly fit the theme, everything looked clean and bright.
Tyler was awesome! The few hints we needed were subtle and not spoilery.
Particularly interesting or different
Yes
Immersive, fun tech and features.
Every element was used well. The story and puzzles really brought out the silliness in our group.
Somewhat linear, but really just need to observe and communicate. The hardest part was realizing what clues correspond with which puzzles.
Most of the puzzles were mechanical, but the lights and sounds made for a great ambiance.
4-6 is probably ideal so everyone can contribute and have something to do.
Rated PG-13 for some references to substance use.
Everything worked perfectly.
Physically active
Not at all
Most of it was running around the space (like rats in a maze), but nothing really out of the ordinary. If you're an experienced enthusiast, you may notice one common rule omitted from the intro.
Accessibility
There were a couple of narrow spaces and some mobility/reach required, so as long as at least one member of your group can do that, its fine.
On a Sunday evening, not as bad as expected, though there are several apartments in the area.
