Summary

  • Recommend 3-5 escape artists
  • Good for newbies
  • Puzzles were on the easy side
  • Many puzzles I have seen before but that did not take away from how fun it was

The room was decorated well and fit the story very well. You first start in a fairly big room with two book cases, a desk, chair, and fire place. The flow of the room from puzzle to puzzle was  good. The room is good for beginners because it is linear and the puzzles are not that challenging. Veteran escape artists won't find anything new about this escape room. It is was still enjoyable and our GM was silly and friendly.

This room is definitely great room if you're with newbies or if you want to begin an escape room addiction.
