26 escape rooms
We've done this room twice, the first time in a "shared experience" and a second time just us two with the intention to speedrun what we remembered and try out the puzzles we weren't able to because of the strangers with us. Being out with strangers discouraged us, but this is now one of our absolute favorite escape room locations. The puzzles are so well themed to the room and don't feel stereotypically "escape room." Hermes, a little robot guy who explains the room to you and is then your source of clues (controlled by your GM) is such a creative way to not break the immersion in order to receive clues. There is a puzzle that requires at least three people, and when we played the room as a team of 2, our GM Kylie came and joined us to do that puzzle, and she made sure to let us lead the puzzle and not spoil the fun by telling us how it's meant to be done.
Gameplay
Puzzles feel very well themed to the room and we only ever needed clues to clarify. We never got so stuck we couldn't figure it out on our own with time.
Atmosphere
So clean and well executed! Theming was very immersive from floor to ceiling.
Customer service
Kylie is so awesome! She's been our GM 4/7 times we've done a room here!

4-6 maybe? the first time we played with 8 and it was pretty cramped and there were a few times when somebody'd be sitting with nothing to do for 1-5 minutes at a time
Scary
Not scary
Minimum age

With the help of an adult, I think an elementary schooler could do 50-70% of the puzzles

Accessibility
one color based puzzle at the beginning, our group argued about which colors were which. might be a little tight for anybody with a mobility aid, but there are rooms at the location (timeliner, heist, depths) that i think would very much support most mobility aids! it's low light, but they allow you to keep your phone and use flashlights and cameras freely.
