Great theme and tech, very good experience. Puzzles themselves weren't too difficult but a lot of unsolicited hints were provided so can feel a little overly curated at times, but there was a lot to fit in the 2 hr run time. The tech and theming of the puzzles were great, not many can compare.

Cheerful and bright with a genuinely fun story - it took some prodding from the host to keep it centered, but it provided a great payoff. Fun mix of puzzles with some divide and conquer and linear play; could have used better lighting around puzzles

I love the premise and plot of the game . The set is impressive, and at times cheerful, mysterious, and tense. More than most games, Wardrobe for Sale is a character-driven story, with much of the plot unfolding through a character's development arc. There's a lot of fun opportunity to banter with a GM-controlled character in the first half, while the second half is a more dramatic turn. My biggest issue with Wardrobe for Sale is the execution. It's a pipelined game where the first part of the pipeline is extremely parallelizable, but the second part is extremely linear. It's hard to think what sort of group would have a good time in both halves. While the story does carry across them, puzzlewise it feels like two completely different games duct taped together. I like the unusual ideas and big swings the game takes, and think that overall the strengths outweigh the weaknesses, but it's a huge shift.

A small group will struggle in the first half, and a large group will be bored in the second half. Sadly, I don't think there's any ideal group size :(

Difficult puzzles and somewhat linear- could have been more non linear to make more fun for groups. Some parts of puzzles were tough to see or hard to connect. Neat set to experience. Other rooms of theirs are better.

If you've ever wanted to be the doughty heroes of a 1980s fantasy film like Labyrinth, this is your room.

Lovely game with a complete story, distinct characters, and high-quality, immersive sets. GM interaction is fun and integrated into the environment. Puzzles for the most part are engaging; there are a lot of set pieces to interact with early on, allowing teams to split up and tackle different challenges. Gameplay becomes more linear later, which leaves members of a larger team without anything to do. Signposting in general could also be improved to guide players to next steps and reduce frustration. The game requires low physicality, but there are no good places to sit down. The sound mixing (or maybe it was the hardware?) could also be improved to ensure that everyone can hear and understand everything. In spite of some minor gameplay frustrations, this game still earns a high final grade thanks to high scores in production value, novelty, immersion, and story. Final grade. A
Fun, creative puzzles that integrate into a complete and emotionally satisfying story. Linear gameplay in the later part of the game prevented all team members from participating fully, and it was often difficult to figure out what to do next.
Incredible, immersive setting. Parts of the set are breathtakingly beautiful and worth just pausing to take in.
Escaparium Laval has some of the most friendly, welcoming staff I've encountered at an escape room venue.

The story is really a story, rather than a scenario to give the players a reason to be in the space, and it's a good story. The art direction is phenomenal. And the entrance to the game is delightful.
See above.
Medium
The puzzles themselves are not particularly complicated; the difficulty is (unfortunately) in figuring out what to do. Once it's clear what to do next, completing the puzzles is like playing fun little games.

Most of the game is quite spacious; there is one space that would feel cramped with more than five people. However, gameplay later in the game is linear, so there's not a lot for a large group to do.
Not scary
There is a character who might look scary to children, but there are no jump scares or characters who actively menace players.

Parts of the game feel like they were designed for children, while other parts would probably be a little too mature (themes they might not be old enough to understand) for younger ones. I definitely think children would be delighted by certain elements of the game.
No
Everything seemed to work as designed, although the game did feel a little worn around the edges.
Yes
The game features several characters. The GM interacts with players throughout, and the character is delightful. Acting was excellent and added emotional resonance to the story. No actors menace the players.

This game requires no climbing or crawling, although there is one puzzle that is near the floor.
There is no climbing or crawling required, so from that standpoint, the game is not physically demanding. However, it is a long game, and there are no good places to sit down. Color recognition is necessary to solve several puzzles, and there are a couple of puzzles that use sound, as well.

I can safely say this is the only escape room where I ended up purchasing a plush toy of one of the characters within. It was that cute, and the room left a huge impression on me. The first room - adorable. The transition - spectacular. The second room - probably the weakest part of the whole thing, but still very enjoyable. Both our GM and our live actor were awesome. One of my favorite rooms I have ever done. This was an amazing room #100 for me!

Everyone will need to climb stairs and deal with uneven terrain. There is an audio puzzle.

One of the best rooms I ever did. The production quality was insane. The amount of detail in the room was amazing. The puzzles were also very well built. I loved the “live actor”. 10/10
