This room was a bit easy for our team of fairly experienced players, but we had a very good time nonetheless. Props to Host Bernadette and Prospector Harlen for infusing their enthusiasm in the experience. A good range of puzzles with some elements I'm very sorry I didn't get to experience in person. On the expensive side, particularly in light of how quickly we finished, but there were a lot of higher end finishes, like a very effective inventory system.

The Escape Game is a known purveyor of "good, if not great" rooms, and this was another fine specimen, for sure: spacious, good-looking, with well-clued, fairly original puzzles. However, our experience wasn't good as the previous one...
