Mark as done to rate

Professor Hoffman’s ideas were too radical and far too expensive for this for the 19th century city to support, which is what drove him to madness. He has stolen, defrauded, and even beaten a man within an inch of his life in order to develop his ideas “for the betterment of humanity.” But now he has mysteriously disappeared. You have received a strange recording from the Professor, calling you to investigate his study. Are you smart enough to figure out what he was working on and where he’s gone?

We really wanted to love this room--the props and sets are wonderful and immersive. Unfortunately, the game had a malfunction that threw off everything and the GM didn't notice until we were quite far along. Plus, their idea of the 45 minute time is that the game is something for people to do while they wait for a Vegas show or something but it's too short. It's fun to be able to bring a drink into the room but the bartender wasn't in when we got there so we didn't get to try that aspect of it.

It's Vegas on the strip--parking is plentiful but pricey and not especially close.

Good room. Not a very large space. Some frustration from puzzles not quite working correctly. GM was able to step in and override still. The games here are only 45 min, cost more to be private, and are a three player min to be private.

Went with a larger group, but I would say sweet spot for this room is five people max. There were times were a few of us were standing around as two or three completed a puzzle for us to move forward. That being said it was still a lot of fun with some really interesting puzzles. We finished the room with 23 seconds to spare! Mostly because of two puzzles where timing was everything that took us a little longer. Go check out this room! You won’t regret it.

This room was very frustrating! It’s only 45 min which is just not enough time. The beginning puzzles were fun but the final ones were just frustrating for our “enthusiast” group.

The first half of this room is well done and fun! The second half was confusing, frustrating and left us unsatisfied.

Atmosphere

Set design was beautiful and unique!

Customer service

Hosts were all lovely!

Easy to find location

Takes a long time to get through the mall.
