Super fun new game in West Reading - amazing attention to detail even in the pre-room. Loved this game and had a lot of fun. With only 3 of us we needed lots of helpful hints but overall enjoyed the experience and grateful for a good quality game that wasn’t scary!

Started out linear but definitely opened up toward the end. Puzzles were all very interesting and fun, a couple things were a little confusing but we were able to make it through. Lighting, effects and atmosphere were superb, as I've come to expect out of all of Encrypted's rooms. Highly recommend!

We enjoyed this experience and are definitely interested in doing more here! We had 6 players, which felt like too many for everyone to have the ability to contribute satisfactorily. We did work as a team, it’s just there wasn’t a lot that could be done simultaneously. We sort of bypassed the one puzzle and had to go back also.

The room is darker, so maybe not good for some people. The lighting is very specific to the story/puzzles.

Minimum age

8

I’m 5’1” and there was part of the puzzle I would have missed because I couldn’t see the top of something. It’s not super high, I could reach it, no problem, but I wouldn’t have thought to look there because I can’t see it. Luckily my husband is 6’5” and this part of the puzzle was obvious for him to see.

Was anything broken?

Yes

A light was out on the one puzzle and two small (unimportant) bits were damaged on the set.

Accessibility

The room was pretty dim, one puzzle involved color, there were flashing lights and loud noises. Sometimes it was harder to hear the story/puzzle bits over the music. Before you enter the room, there is a “dock” that is not a flat surface. It feels like you’re standing on a dock on the water, which is pretty cool, but could be a problem for some people. You also have to enter the building by going down stairs.

5 out of 5. Best sub room we've played. If you liked The Depths from The Escape Game, this one blows it out of the water. Excellent story, set design, lighting effects, and twists and turns. Bound to be a TERPECA nominated room. 75 minutes was the right amount of time for this room. We got out with 10 minutes to spare with two but less experienced players will benefit from the full 75.

Great tech, a variety of puzzles, and great set design. While it is 75 minutes I think a lot of groups can probably do it in under 60, especially larger and/or experienced.
