Summary
- Recommend 6-8 escape artists
- Fairly challenging puzzles
- Some creative puzzles
- Room was anesthetically pleasing
First, I recommend 6-8 escape artists for this game because 11 is WAY TOO MUCH! The room could handle all 11 of our group, but it was easy to tell that the room needed less people. Regardless, it was still a fun escape room. The puzzles required a lot of thinking and were fairly challenging. It was cool to see (at least for one puzzle) if you got it wrong, you would get a challenging hint for the next puzzle vs. if you got it right, you would get an more direct hint.
The rooms looked good and had a lot of space to work in. The story was enjoyable to follow along with as well.
