This was an amazing room! Definitely very memorable with a lot of cool elements. I recommend everyone to do this room. This room brought me back to the 80s. We also loved all the rooms. Great use of space!

Gameplay

The game play flowed very well. The GM explained everything very well.

Atmosphere

The room brought me back decades! It’s funny some of the stuff in the room I still have within our home.

Multiple interesting puzzles for this game.

Story

Plot is very memorable.

Difficulty

Medium

We were flying through this room for a little bit. We definitely were stumped multiple times, but were able to get it very quickly. Some puzzles our group just encountered in previous games recently. If we didn’t do that it could be a bit more difficult.

2 people can do a majority of the puzzles and 2 people observe. However later in the room more hands are needed.

It was like stepping back into the 80s (and my childhood). So many fun props, great use of mechanical, tech, and color! My only note is one puzzle is color-based, and the lighting near it make things difficult to discern. Amazing story and play through.

Wonderful room BUT scarier than advertised! They say 10 years old but my 10 year old was freaked out (not easily scared). Can't say enough good things about the game play and host....but NOT for kids.

Gameplay

One major puzzle was broken. And they seemed to know it but did nothing to rectify.

Atmosphere

SUCH a cool design.

Really fun escape room. This was my first! Loved the whole frozen in time thing since 1984. It was a good level of difficulty for my first time and not overwhelming

One of my favorite rooms ! I’ve done 51 at this point ! Really awesome theme and vintage 80’s decoration was spot on !it was cool to see some of the stuff so similar to what I saw in the 80’s as a young kid . Despite 3 things not working. And the game master has to come in to reset the game twice , we really enjoyed the puzzles and the theme . It sorta broke up the flow since three things broke but nevertheless we loved the story and theme and had fun in the nostalgic space .

This game is super fun to do! GM was super great and helpful! Game is pretty much linear and love the twist at the end. If y’all love a good mystery, this is the one for you.

This room is nothing short of absolutely phenomenal. From the moment you walk in, the set design is seamlessly immersive. Puzzles are very linear, which is perfect for a room with so many twists and turns. Most object interactions are incredibly intuitive, and help gameplay and story beats move along seamlessly. When big twists hit, they hit HARD. We found ourselves constantly on our toes, and we were never able to predict what was coming next. Every puzzle felt different, and every solution was satisfying. Our GM, Elena, was INCREDIBLE. They are friendly, helpful, and professional, and made sure we didn't miss out on a thing.

A really fun solve for two people, loved the suburban 1980s vibe, loved the gradual reveal of the big idea behind the finale, which was super satisfying. Very challenging, not punishing. Some clever use of a few puzzle mechanics that I’ve never seen before. The environment were all top-notch, and the staff was great.

Gameplay

A really great mix of puzzle types

Really great environments, the finale room was pretty surprising
