Summary

  • Recommend 3-5 escape artists
  • A LOT of puzzles
  • Immersive AF
  • Loved the theme!

Our game master, Carrera, was a sweet heart and very nice to us and did a very good job going through the rules of the room. She did really well making my friend comfortable as it was her second escape room ever and her first escape room as a 2-player team. She previously did The 13th Room with a big group of 8. 

Going in the room, it felt like a legit actress dressing room. It was a true scavenger hunt. Unfortunately, there were 2 items that we couldn't even find the room and we spent about 10 minutes finding/guessing the answer. Our GM was able to give us some time back. There were a lot of puzzles that required ordering. 

Based on FB recommendations, this room was said to be good for teams of 2 escape artists. With the amount of puzzles, I would say that this room requires at least 3 escape artists. Regardless, it was still fun and enjoyable. The story was fun to follow.
