I hate to leave negative reviews, but this game was utterly awful. The room is sparsely themed and appears to have been put together in a rush. It mostly consists of flat packed furniture. The puzzles don't fare much better, mostly being extremely basic. To make matters worse there are some obnoxious red herrings that serve no purpose other than to annoy. The whole game doesn't flow very well and there's no charm or personality to it. It's a massive shame as the hosts/owners seemed so lovely. I just don't think they're ready to create their own rooms. There's nothing here that is even remotely worth paying for. 

Reviews by escape room review sites

This room felt like it was set up in a rush just so they could get their doors open. Sparse set design, lacking puzzles, frustrating puzzles, and a very anti-climatic ending meant we left just feeling a bit flat. This game has a premium price tag, but it was not a premium experience.
