Rock Avenue Escape Room: Ready Mayor Two: A Matter of Time

I was afraid to play this room after reading some of the reviews for this experience. I didn't enjoy it as much as the first entry, but I still had a great time. We didn't have Mayor Rob this time around, and I definitely think that impacted our experience. Our host was really receptive to our directions, but didn't engage us as much as we wanted. He felt more like an outsider we were controlling, rather than an active member of our group. He still did a great job though and this is definitely an experience to check out!

We played this before the owner's overhaul, and nonetheless had a really good time.  Some clever puzzles, with good adaptation to the online environment.  Not quite up to Ready Mayor One standards, but definitely worth playing.

Not quite up to the standard of Ready Mayor One, this game still had plenty of highlights. We found it a bit more stop-start and while that might have just been a bad day, it felt more like the puzzle flow was a little more convoluted and the conversion to an online game hadn't worked quite as smoothly. 

Puzzles were good and kept us occupied for most of the time. Set had some rough edges again but also a really charming centrepiece and the GM added a nice vibe to the game.

There's the opportunity for a cool finale to lead on to the next experience but it wasn't as smooth as it would have ideally been and felt like an add on rather than a natural transition. Possibly an artefact of transferring to an online experience?

Well worth playing though!

Both the old and the updated version and the updated is a mch better game, theres no augmented reality and alot less media, so you spend more time in the game and not on your second device/screen watching and listening to something else.
As with all virtual rooms the host/avatar is key and the un-interested jouralist character just didn't work for me (aren't jouralists interested in getting a story?), it just cane across as "I hate my GM job" rather than a character, so getting rid of that made the biggest improvement. 
Well done for taking on feedback and making the changes.

Is a fine room but there is a bit too much backstory and plot elements revealed that aren't really part of the puzzle-solving, making it a lot more confusing to figure out what to look at and what to ignore.  Lacks the simplicity of Ready Mayor One.
