Awesome room that while small in size is big in effects! The puzzles around the titular Pandora’s Box were well themed and tested different abilities. It’s not too hard, and our small team of 2 managed to get out in about 35 minutes AFTER arriving late. So we actually only had 40 minutes to do the room but we still made it out. We didn’t get the chance to do any bonus adaptive puzzles, since we were late and low on time, but I wasn’t a huge fan of the adaptive puzzles in other rooms anyway so no big loss. Great GM helped us expedite the process of checking so we wouldn’t lose too much more time. Might not be for everyone because it is smaller in scale, but it’s perfect for small groups like us who maybe got more than we bargained… It’s what we get for opening Pandora’s Box…

Very thematic room with cool effects. Puzzles themselves were mostly simple, a lot involving logic switches, but did have a couple unique mechanics and reveal effects. As others have said, this room is very linear and I wouldn't recommend more than 2 people honestly. I did it with my son and we managed to finish the main room and extra puzzles with 6 minutes left. The main room is much stronger than the extra puzzles, I would say, but still a good experience. Still an easy recommendation as the theme and main puzzles flow well and the effects are cool.

One of those rooms where you can feel the love and passion the creators put into it. Set design was really awesome and had cool effects, puzzles were new and unique. Definitely worth a try. No more than 4 people though. Did this with 2, had some time left over.

Gameplay

Puzzles flowed well and had a good theme to each of them. Would say the only thing that holds this room back is the darkness, I'm just a blind mf though lol

Atmosphere

Set design done really well, not too spooky but definitely set the tone for the room.

Customer service

Host was awesome! GM was fun and silly and made the experience much better.

A lot of really fun effects, but unfortunately completely linear, with only one single-player puzzle available at a time, despite the central set piece being a big cube with separate puzzles on each side. Very much a single-player experience, with all of the puzzles presented one at a time, and none needing more than one player to solve. In fact, there were several times where one player would be doing the one puzzle available, and have to "shoo away" the other players who were trying to help but were just getting in the way. Two of the puzzles were of the frustrating "button 1 rotates A 90*, and B 180*, button 2 rotates B -90* and C 180*, etc." variety, and several of the locks had been lazily scrambled so that they were already set to about 80% of the solution. One neat thing is that this room had "bonus puzzles", which are unlocked by how much time is left when you complete the room, and then how much time is left when you complete each subsequent bonus puzzle. We got through 2, and I think there are 4 total. That's a cool twist that I'd love to see more of.

The room itself is very detailed, props are very well made and the perfect environment for the room. Some puzzles you really need to pay attention to the small detail to get where you need to go. Room flows perfectly. Game master (Tyler) was awesome and got into character the whole time, which gave the game the even more of a twist.

Gameplay

Flows very well once you start going.

Atmosphere

The props and elements in the room were awesome and great for game play.

Customer service

Tyler was great and did an awesome job getting into character for the room.

We enjoyed the puzzles in the room. The GM told us that we were able to complete the standard and optional puzzles with about eight minutes left. We appreciate rooms that have varying degrees of difficulty. For folks that really look forward to exploring new spaces within an escape room, you will likely be disappointed, but I thought the use of space was quite efficient and matched the story well. I would highly recommend not playing with more than a group of two.

Good little room. Some of the puzzles are unique, definitely liked two of them that were practical and made you think. Actual puzzle to complete isn't terribly hard, but there are additional "adaptive" puzzles that get pretty difficult. Atmosphere and effects are good, and very solid.

  • It's an intriguing cross between Greek mythology and Disney/Indiana adventures. And it works!
