23 escape rooms
Lockbusters takes you back! As someone who lived during this time I enjoyed the theming. My group of three had a pleasant time at the game and we did escape. Run as an independent company, the room does not have the flash of some rooms out there, but you do feel like you are in an old video store. Some of the puzzles are novel and fun, but most are pretty standard. General movie knowledge was helpful but not essential. Pros: - Nostalgic theme -A few unique clues -The timer showed how many puzzles you completed and how many you had left to go. Cons: - Less flashy and polished as other rooms we played. -Some missed opportunities to go deeper with the theme. -Some clues just opened a lock and you got another number for another lock. Didn't feel as novel or immersive as it could have been. -A few puzzles felt glitchy. - One or two original puzzle elements seemed to be by passed. We couldn't tell if this was because they didn't consistently work or if the room wasn't set up correctly. - Our GM was pleasant but uninterested. We wondered if he had a late night and little sleep. We asked for clue and didn't get one for an 5ish minutes. We were at a bottleneck and we're stopped from moving on.

Front staff was lovely. GM gave a fine introduction. However we asked for a clue multiple times mid game and was ignored for a few minutes until one was sent. When we escaped he seemed uninterested yawning and stretching his arms with no fanfare of our escape.
