One of the best rooms I've done! Great flow with the puzzles and even though we escaped with plenty of time left, the amount of puzzles and details were awesome.

Overall, the set design was great, as is typical for Escape Room Novi. The room was fine, I had a good time, but there were no real stakes, no immersion into the scenario. Certain story elements felt like they came out of nowhere, and the puzzles were missing the "Why?" aspect. It was a lot of, "put this thing here because this is obviously where it goes," with no explanation of why we were doing it or what it accomplished for us.
Gameplay
A few of the puzzles were not very intuitive. One had a puzzle piece that was not labeled well, so we had it upside-down for at least 5 minutes while trying to figure out what to do next. Overall, there just wasn't a lot of reason behind the puzzles.
Atmosphere
Room was beautifully designed. My only complaint is that the room got very smoky about halfway through.

This was a delightful room! Atmosphere, set design, and flow were great. Delightfully creepy, but not scary. Puzzles were varied and fun. Would highly recommend for small groups!

2-3 seems best. Above 4 would be cramped

Nice people run the place. Nice job with the puzzles and theme. Solid 8/10 room. A little on the easy side if you have a lot of experience, but still fun and would recommend.

Wow! This room had a very impressive theme and decor. It really added to the experience and played into the jump scares. The puzzles were not too challenging and lots of fun. Our entire group really enjoyed this room. This location is awesome and the GMs are always great!

As per usual, Escape Novi has another great room! Cool story and scenery. Some fun jump scares. Good puzzles. I recommend a smaller group (we had 4) because itβs relatively linear and smaller spaces.
