Good simple game, not overly exciting though, and not much to do with a murder. Some equipment stopped working. Yeah was okay, could’ve been better

Probably the most standard of the escape rooms in Chatham but this was still a very fun and story driven room. Lots of good puzzles and a fun conclusion.

Reviews by escape room review sites
Motel California is a fun room at a company run by enthusiastic and passionate owners. While there is nothing stand out about this room, we enjoyed every minute we spent in it
Three very different feeling rooms. Our favourite game was Motel California but, if you're looking for something challenging, then I think Aftermath will do the job while if you're looking for a pretty set or family-friendly action then Forgotten Realm would work well.
This room really packs a punch and is hugely enjoyable. The mix of murder mystery and loot finding is a great combination. Some rooms of this style can get a little similar however this certainly breaks the mould.
The room itself was decked out really well for the theme and you might even notice some familiar faces. This room is a first generation deal, so don’t expect lots of tech
A real great mix of short punchy puzzles and longer fact finding missions make this a great challenge, which is not only well themed, but also fast paced.
