Rated between 45 and 45 out of 5
Played: Nov. 14, 2020 Team size: 4 Time taken: 56 minutes Outcome: Successful escape!

This is the first online escape room we've played that makes a real effort to allow for the members of the team to work independently, as you would if you were doing the room in person.  The inventory system is set up around 6 characters, with a desk for each one that hosts different items as they are uncovered.  At various points individual players can "step away" and solve particular puzzles on their desk, which definitely makes things more efficient.  The puzzles were generally solid, with a good integration into the story line.  Our avatar was very pleasant, and gently directed us away from some dead ends that would have wasted time.  Overall a very strong integration of online elements, and a fun experience for everyone.
