A very nice build consider that it's a pop-up and portable room, with a few interesting mechanisms, and a super-friendly avatar.

Just played this with friends and it was amazing!!!! I am quite new to escape rooms, but this blew my mind. The staging was really high quality and the game was super fun with quite difficult clues for a beginner. Would highly recommend.

A reasonably legit temple room, not amazing scenically but with decent puzzling. Built to be unbolted and transported, so expect a somewhat smaller set (but that works remotely).

Our first online avatar room and played as two couples in two separate locations on Zoom.

All worked well technically with a good starting overview around the room by the online avatar. Puzzles were padlock solving style but well presented and in an atmospheric room in the Conservatory of the game owner (other games are available in other rooms of the Game Owner's house). a nice mix of challenge - over thinking very much a possibility! - but all very solvable and well thought through. 

Perhaps at time the avatar prompted us towards the right solution by inadvertent movements, and perhaps at other times was too reluctant to assist, but overall it was a good mix. And allowed us to observe what was intended to be seen as thought we were in a real room.

So, as a first experience of an online avatar led room, the four in the team thoroughly enjoyed it, kept involved, and worked together to resolve the room. And we have immediately booked again for another room closer to Christmas.

Well done, Joel!
