The holding room prior to the game and the staff in there are super fun but the game itself wasn't anything groundbreaking compared to this so we found it a bit of a let down
Boring, plain linear room. The team photos you see online do not represent the experience as the way the photo opportunity area is decorated is far more intricate than the rooms themselves. The overall experience is extremely corporate and impersonal. Please don't bother.
A distinctly understaffed venue with only a couple of hosts for four or five teams that were started simultaneously so we ended up waiting around for everyone to be ready.
The room itself was extremely linear and overly focused on locks (although it had a few good non-lock puzzles). It had one very clever puzzle which the rest of my team couldn't believe the solution to (and which made me feel very smug). Sadly one of the puzzles had a red herring pointing to the wrong solution and it took a clue from the hosts to get us back on track (and even then I can't see how the clue in the room pointed to that solution and only got it because I'd seen similar ones in other escape rooms).
