Stop That Launch!
I was supposed to tackle this as a team of four, but someone dropped out last minute. As it's a five-star room, I went in with low hopes of breaking out.
Story
Save the world by stopping a missile strike.
Puzzles
Hard, with a capital H! Although we cracked some of them quickly, others had us completely stumped. They were army-themed, and a couple of practical tasks were involved to spice things up a bit. One of them stood out as particularly novel to me. Clues weren't coming when we needed them, but even so, we'd have needed many more to get out.
Mise-en-scène
'Enemy territory' was uninspired. As mentioned, the puzzles and props contributed to a military environment, but it was otherwise a basic office.
Final Comments
We were at least four puzzles away from success. Take your best team for this room.
