Sweet Escape

3/10

Gwen Stefani is that you? The newest edition to Trapt’s lineup, we play tested this a couple days before opening. The room starts off really solid with really intuitive puzzles and some fun little moments. The sweet scent throughout the room is a really nice touch also. After working through into the second part of the room things took a bit of a downward turn. Some puzzles that didn’t make a great amount of sense, a strange non-linearity and some dissatisfying solves. Really took the air out of what was shaping up to be a good room. We spent upwards of 15 minutes on one puzzle that we weren’t able to solve yet. In a 50 minute experience these sort of issues can be super frustrating. Sweet Escape has potential to be a really solid room but as of right now is in desperate need of some adjustments. Particularly surrounding the flow and linearity. Also please don’t use AI “art” in rooms.

The Sweet Escape" is a song by American singer Gwen Stefani from her 2006 second solo studio album of the same name. It was written by Stefani, Aliaune "Akon" Thiam and Giorgio Tuinfort, and produced by the latter two. Akon, who is also a featured artist, developed the song's beat before collaborating with Stefani. He designed it based on her previous work with No Doubt, and Stefani later commented that it put her "on the yellow brick road to the No Doubt record I might do". "The Sweet Escape" is an apology for a fight between two lovers and describes a dream of a pleasant life for them.
