A very overdone theme but we enjoyed lucardo's version of it, played as a team of two and escaped fairly quickly. There weren't any ground breaking puzzles in this room but we still thoroughly enjoyed it.

Reviews by escape room review sites

A very solid escape room with a good number of decent puzzles but nothing that really stood out. A few rough edges along the way leaves it in that range of games where I'll still recommend people play but won't do so enthusiastically.
With the types of puzzles and the design choices, I would say this game is perfectly suited to small groups of enthusiasts (perhaps those that want to try their first room as a two) or larger groups of new players.
We found this to be one of the weaker Lucardo games we’ve played. We didn’t feel there was much variety in the puzzles and felt there was quite an anti-climactic ending.
