If you are new to online escape rooms, I would recommend starting off with this game or something similiar.  Virtual's set up does well where players can go off on their own in the game.  There is also an inbuilt communication so you don't have to worry about organising Zoom.  A typical school style theme with good level of puzzles.

Good value for money, and the platform was okay to play in.  Out of all of Virtual Games offerings this room would be their weakest.  I've never played a game (online or physical and im 90+) where you have to keep on inputting a code to access a door that has already been sovled, it is a time eater & frustrating.  Once something is opened it should stay open.  Also when scaling the intensity of the puzzles, you shouldn't be resorting to being illogical and extremely vague - be more creative and add more layers, referencing, add another medium.

Overall this game was average, I would recommend no more than 2 people doing it due to the mechanics if one person opened a clue or observed an item, it opened on everyone's screen. Same with inputting information, making it linear in most parts.  I think this game works best when one person sharing it and others play by watching, rather than sending out the codes.  Game length, I felt finished a bit shorter than what I would have liked to. The puzzles were easy to do and not very challenging.

I enjoy horror themed rooms  (can be quite bias).  I enjoyed the sound effects & music. I felt the puzzle theme correlated with the game and I didnt anything was difficult (there is a part where you will need a piece of paper & a pair of scissors)
The game length time felt short (to me) and there was more time spent in suspense building cinematics (which I enjoyed) than the actual virtual-playing of the game and would have liked to have an addition of at least one more room to level out the mix.  I recommend playing this for Halloween / Friday 13th or on a stormy late night

Really good value for money - this virtual escape lures problem solver's  into a fermentation of multi-layered puzzles.  We played both parts in one sitting, I'd recommend a water break in between as they mention to allow 90mins per section. You will need social media platforms to progress through the game and be prepared to have lots of browsers opened at once. Nicely executed Deadlocked. (>‿◠)
