Murder of ‘89 was a good room. We were a bit confused in some parts on what we were supposed to do next. We made it to the very end and then guessed the incorrect murderer. We got the weapon correct. The room design was very good as it looked like you were in an 80’s teenagers room. Kind of small so I wouldn’t recommend more than 3 people (maybe 4). The staff were very nice.

Pretty straightforward flow! We did it with four people pretty quickly, there’s a fun element of it being a Whodunnit and you’re trying not just to escape but to solve who did it and with what weapon. Would definitely consider doing another room at this location!

The theming of this room was so fun and very different from other crime themed rooms I’ve done. The puzzles were set up in a way where we could all contribute and work on pieces separately.

I think accessibility seems touch with escape rooms. This is probably more accessible than other rooms. Most things were within reach and we did not need to be very active.

We crushed this room in less than 30 minutes but had a blast doing so. It’s non linear so it rewards teams who can split up and work on their own thing. Non-traditional in that you’re solving someone’s escape room to solve their murder. Great attention to detail

I did this with a buddy a few years ago and I still have fond memories of it. It was great that just the two of us could do it, but more than three people in this room would be cramped. Theming was fun and cute. Puzzles weren't insanely hard, but still fun for us to do. The one hard part in the room is naming the culprit and the weapon correctly. It's not that it's necessarily difficult, but the pressure is certainly there that adds some nerves!

There was a visual clue added to this and when I heard about it after the room was completed, I agreed that it made the room excellent instead of just okay. If you watched cable TV crime solving in the late 80s and early 90s and love 80s music, this room is for you!!

The room was well put together. Staff was INCREDIBLE! I had emailed prior to booking about personal anxieties and they helped me find the room for me. Also told me in the future they have the ability to modify certain scary rooms to accommodate certain concerns. Will definitely be back for more rooms!!!!

Overall rating - 8.5/10 Puzzles - 7 Gameplay - 10 Atmosphere - 8 Experience - 10 For a breakdown of my weighted rating system you can refer to my bio. As others have said, this is one room. I don't consider that a spoiler personally I think it's important to know to set expectations. That being said it was a very enjoyable room. We did it with two and we felt relaxes the whole way through. The puzzles are straight forward but fun. There's not a ton of tech in the room but I think it's perfect for two people.
