Puzzles were badly made and broken. Very low quality. We called out to the GM that we thought something was broken so we could get past it but they just kept repeating (via text on screen) the same hint so weren't listening to us at all. We almost walked out after waiting 20 mins for them to solve but was intrigued as to how bad the rest was (and knew we wouldn't get a refund from EH). I will never play an EH again, they just don't care, they are in it for the money and nothing else.

Reviews by escape room review sites

Our host was lovely and was able to provide us with just the right amount of nudging. Although for these digital games, we actually prefer playing them in self guided mode with hint system build-in to the game. But this game could also be played in competitive mode where you and your friends could compete to see who would be able to finish the game quicker, For this option, you'll need a host to break you guys up into different breakout rooms. We decided to play the game together as a team of 4 and finished in 45 minutes or so. If Escape Online is able to fix some of these hotspot integrations, it'll definitely make the game play a lot smoother. We look forward to trying their other games in competitive mode next time!
