Room was pretty boring throughout. No logic puzzles whatsoever, everything was about observation.Spent five minutes at the beginning of the game forced to sit on a chair (IYKYK) which was pretty annoying.Room was poorly built. A “cage” shouldn't be two bits of temporary builder’s fence zip-tied together -.-Wasn’t helped by the GM being a knob and getting really defensive after the game after he asked for feedback and didn’t hear what he wanted to hear.Definitely wouldn’t recommend.

The puzzles are largely observational with very little logic. Unfortunately this isn’t mitigated by a good set. Not my kind of room.

Definitely enjoyed this one, was a little trickier than the other one we'd done here and each time I thought we'd got out we were in another room, so I was kind of expected another room when we actually did escape 

Each puzzle fitted with the theme which was good

Puzzles were clean and fair with a bit of innovation.  Everything else was average.

Diverse Puzzles

Mafia is AdventureRooms’ best room without a shadow of a doubt. It’s got a good mix of diverse and challenging puzzles, used in ways I’ve not seen before. It’s attention to set design is the highest quality of their three rooms, which only adds to the immersion once that door is locked.

I’d recommend Mafia to anyone who wants something a little different with their puzzle flavour. If you’re tired of seeing the same old, same old, then give this room a whirl.

Vor allem für geübte Rätsler, die sich mit vielen unterschiedlichen Aufgaben innerhalb einer Stunde austoben wollen, ist Mafia eine Empfehlung. Durch das schöne Design werden aber auch Story-Fans angesprochen.
