An all-round excellent room. Nice puzzle design, logical progression and theming was great.
Hosting was a little vanilla if I'm being hypercritical, but the aesthetics of the room certainly made up for it.
Again, if I'm being extremely harsh, there were sometimes not enough puzzles to go around for a group of our size (all experienced players), but we all came out feeling like we contributed to the win.
One contraption was broken, which was a slight shame, but our host helped up to navigate around it smoothly, which served to maintain the overall immersion.
We loved the game and got a sneak peek at their upcoming one too which looked incredible. We'll definitely be back for that.

A very disappointing experience throughout, which got off to the worst start with the early discovery that the room hadn't been properly reset.
After a confusing story, we were surprised to discover that our two hosts would be staying in the room with us as "friendly ghosts". In actuality we needed them to explain illogical puzzle connections and literally provide us codes when we gave correct answers. It didn't help they stayed in the room having conversations throughout.
Theming was non-existent and many puzzles and contraptions didn't work properly, which is a shame as some of the skill games and puzzle designs had potential.
The most bizarre aspect was being divided into mini teams, but still with the freedom to roam around the room. Many of us reported feeling lost throughout.
