Kate's Motel

This room has a lot going on, and while it claims to be linear, there were many times where my team and I weren’t sure what went where. Many things you had to use trial and error and hope that something clicked to progress forward.

A puzzle dense game just for the sake of being a puzzle dense game. As a horror game it doesn’t feel like much interesting stuff happened, though we only got about 2/3s of the way through so I can’t speak on what that last third is like. Limiting hints is just something I don’t really like as escape games have become more about the experience than the difficulty of them (at least that’s how I’ve seen the industry shift), but I guess it makes sense for this game as this game feels more like a challenge game than an immersive experience. If you’re into that then you’ll like this game.

While this room boasts itself as the "hardest escape room in Arizona" with the lowest escape rate, it is mostly due to the excessive dilution of the puzzles. There are many puzzles which when solved provide a singular part to another puzzle that requires a few others to find. The flow isn't great and you'll need many members to be constantly solving the multitude of puzzles they've got. Some were interesting but overall this room unfortunately falls flat in entertainment due to their desire for complexity.

This was a fun game and we needed all 5 clues just to escape with 58 seconds remaining. Very fun rooms and clues flowed well (even though we needed help). Would absolutely recommend it to other to try - I’d recommend at least 5 people to help with all the clues and puzzles

It needs to be at least 2 hours. The puzzles were overwhelming. Over 40 puzzles. You have up to 20 puzzles in the first room. I wish you can move to the second room faster to be able to understand better your time and what else you have to do. I liked that there were a lot of puzzles but I definitely thought that they were miscalculated players time. The room with so many puzzles to just give only 5 hints I feel it's just a ripped-off. Imagine only 7% escaped. It's very low for an escape room.

Holy hell, there are so many puzzles and locks and possibilities! This room has cool set pieces at times, and the amount of content plus the ambiguity of puzzles provides the difficulty. With so many input options, it can be hard to know what goes where, and early on, puzzles can feel less intuitive. The first part of the game is smaller, more difficult, and overstays its welcome. The second part offers more diversity in props, puzzles, and the environment. This is a room for experienced players or people looking for a challenge. Lots of connections must be made to succeed.

Interesting puzzles but would benefit from having more people/brainpower in the room (4-6 seems to be recommended). Puzzles seemed linear but that might just have been because we were confused and therefore moving one at a time. That being said, there were some cool aspects I have never seen in an escape room before. Overall good puzzles and definitely a challenge! (#3 hardest in the state)

Fun room that’s pretty complicated. A few of the puzzles were broken, which really hindered us. We weren’t able to complete the room by the time limit, due to one of the puzzles not working. A little disappointing.

The game is really well thought out with a lot of fun unique puzzles! I had a great team with me and with only a 19% success rate we did really well! Keep in mind this room is the 3rd hardest in the state of Arizona.

I think at a certain point towards the end of the game they severely mess with you to waste more time so you fail this giving their room a low success rating purposely. Also making you run out the door to the office to stop your time *eyeroll*
