La Calavera

**Disclaimer: I playtested the room, so I did not experience the final version of the room** La Calavera makes a lot of cool decisions. The set design and plot are regionally unique and distinct. There are a couple dramatic moments using tech. While being linear, it offers many opportunities for collaboration and parallel puzzling. Yes, it had a slew of traditional locks and, as such, struggled with lock mapping. Not all puzzles made thematic sense. The distance between the start and end of certain elements' relevance was occasionally frustratingly long. Some elements lacked adequate signposting, and the first puzzle was maddeningly obtuse. That said, this is almost certainly the best room in Tucson. The efforts of this small team deserve to be recognized within the Tucson community. Although hardcore enthusiasts may be more critical of the flaws, ambition and vision in the stagnant Tucson market deserves celebration.
