The atmosphere was great. Enjoyed that it was non linear so everybody was kept busy. Some puzzle elements were very unique. Never really got stuck on any one puzzle they were all figure-outable. Gamemaster did well keeping us on pace, just about perfect with nudges so we could see every puzzle. Glad we got to play it on the last day before the room is closed.

Neat and unique Japanese-village-themed room. They told us that they are shutting down this room soon, so if you're considering it, do it soon! Our group of 2 did not come close to finishing; the game master (charitably) told us we did about 75% of it. We requested a bunch of hints and a bunch of the times we were facepalming that we overlooked something, no fault of the game itself.

Gameplay

Definitely novel and fun. There were a lot of locks at once so it wasn't always clear what to do next.

Oh my goodness, this room BLEW MY MIND. There was so much to do, as a team of three we really had to divide and conquer. Some of the most unique puzzles I’ve ever seen and incredibly detailed set design. Super sad this room is going away, definitely play before they remodel!

Gameplay

10000/10 on gameplay. We found ourselves constantly putting things together, no drag time at all. A few puzzles are time consuming but overall we absolutely loved this game!

Atmosphere

Such a cute and detailed design! Lots of amazing things to look at and all puzzles were soooo on theme.

Customer service

The first time we tried to play this game I ended up becoming ill and our game master was so kind and rebooked our room for us. The service was so great and everyone was amazingly nice. Can’t wait to do more of their rooms

We played with a group of three and I think if we had one or two more players we would’ve gotten out a little faster, there’s just so much to do!

Absolutely gorgeous room with exquisite attention to detail. Very challenging for linear thinkers and definitely need at least four players for all the puzzles. Game master was incredibly friendly and hospitable.

Fun room, immersive, props, clues, games all on point. Solved with the kids (5 to 15 years old) with four and a half minutes to spare. Recommended.

This is the fourth room we played at 21 Keys, and it ended up being the favorite for our entire group of three. It was also the most challenging. The puzzles were very fun and thematic, and a few we'd never seen before (one puzzle really stood out as a favorite). Staff was friendly and accomodating.

The room was beautifully put together, the puzzles made sense and the experience was satisfying! My partner in crime is the real reason we escaped but we made it out with a two person team - just barely. Ensure you and your team can communicate and understand one another.

Gameplay

The room was very fun. Team work and communication is a must. Escaped with a two person team

We did the room as a duo. I thought the puzzles were very difficult to understand and felt like they were reaching with a lot of them. The scenery in this room was nice. Our GM was also not very attentive and would give us hints for puzzles we had already solved.

There is something charming about this room. A lot of individual great puzzles that all flowed together while also being a non linear room that was great for a medium sized group
