This really posed a challenge for our group, especially at the beginning. Great puzzles, excellent room design and a really great challenge+

A great set design some good puzzles but be warned if you have any mobility issues could be a problem with a lot of  ladder climbing involved. Overall enjoyed the room although one section let it down for me and we had 2 items we found that we never used otherwise it would have got a higher rating as I really enjoyed moving around the areas and you could see the amount of effort put in.

Visually stunning but with very medicore unoriginal puzzles. One puzzle repeated twice. One puzzle on the lower level was broken and was skipped by accidentally waving a hand over a sensor.

Involves LOTS of ladder climbing through tight spaces - not recommended for anyone who is overweight.

Otherwise some good fun to be had here.

Played in beta-testing so some things may change: nicely built room and a good amount of puzzles within the time frame, we enjoyed the room (two adults and a 10 year old) 

Of note, it is listed as 4+ but is eminently doable with 3 (and probably 2) - not the case with their other 4 person room the Mayan temple, which does require 4 people to make the puzzles work.

Fantastic set design makes a strong first impression when first entering the room; it's certainly a cut above most that I've played. Good variety of puzzles, lots of clever tech, brilliant. Strongly recommended!
