- Immersive AF
- Abstract, high tech and difficult puzzles
- Very creative
- Creepy and exhilirating ending
Transition from Chapter 1 to Chapter 2 was very well done as it used the facility in a unique way. Evil Genius does a very good job to continue the story and it actually added to the fun of the overall escape room. The art gallery was very well designed and the puzzles were difficult. I believe it was because my brain shut off 1.5 hours into the escape room. The hint system was very well prepared and well done. We were stuck on one puzzle, but our game master kept giving us more concrete hints each time. The puzzles were pretty high tech and as well as abstract.
The ending was a 'lil scary and unexpected, but that made the escape room more of a blast to play. I REALLY RECOMMEND THIS ESCAPE ROOM! TOTALLY A FAV!
