immersivegreat hostingvery easy

We absolutely loved the hosting here at Mindworks. We did Trapped for Cash first, and the this one, and both hosts were absolutely fantastic! Fogg was a great judge of team character and his introduction really had us immersed and ready for an adventure. 

The theming was beautiful and very immersive, and the puzzles were varied enough to keep us interested the whole time. Due to a great run through Trapped for Cash, we were warned that we would likely breeze through this room so we took our time with it and enjoyed the theming and story. However, even with our leisurely pace and me often just wandering around looking at the decorations, we reached the end in under half an hour and were left thinking "oh, are we done?".  Don't get me wrong, we absolutely loved this room, but we wanted more. Highly recommend for families or as a great introduction for newbies, but for experienced escapers, be warned, it will be a short game. Regardless, it was fun from start to finish!
