This review comes from a group of first timers including kids. We had a lot of fun in this room, but frankly if you’re only doing one room at the Markey, we liked the Alice room much better. The puzzles here were quite challenging for us but somewhat ordinary … can’t help feeling that seasoned escapers might not be overly impressed. One element of the room creates a bit of a bottleneck where it’s difficult to work on things simultaneously. And it just didn’t seem exceptionally clever in terms of props etc. but again we don’t know what to compare it to. We ended up using a lot of hints, which didn’t bother us even though they were pretty direct (perhaps because we were running out of time). Bottom line we still had lots of fun.
Quite challenging for beginners/kids. More physical skill required than I expected. One element created a bit of a bottleneck. Not the most creative puzzles?
The Game Master is super friendly and provided great hints to keep us on the right track.
Particularly interesting or different
No
The puzzles were interesting but not anything particularly out of the ordinary or overly creative
For us beginners it was a bit hard, but I suspect seasoned escapers would not have much trouble.
There was not a lot of prop cleverness. Mostly limited to opening doors when a puzzle is solved.
Physically active
Somewhat
Not terribly hard but It’s in the back corner of a parking lot with a lot of businesses
