First Impressions
Another top-tier escape room I've wanted to do and I elected to wait for Amber to do this one. The escape room was the same place we did Cannibal's Den. And guess who was our GM? Our good friend, Daniel. Daniel is the epitome of a great GM. He is personable, extremely humorous and very welcoming. We were excited to see him and to escape from this room.
Puzzles
The puzzles in Red Giant are incredibly fun and quite challenging. The puzzles were also definitely hi-tech and anesthically pleasing to look at. The flow of the puzzles switches between multi-linear and linear. One of the most unique things about this experience was something we had to do that took us off-guard. If you haven't played this room, play it to find out what I mean! :D
Immersion
Beyond all expectations. I thought the other Quest Room escape rooms were already superbly made. This room killed the immersion category. There were TRAPS! TRAPS!!! Well kinda like traps but there were certainly numerous of "super cool" moments in this escape room.
Value
Just play it.
Should you play it?
Look at the previous section (Value) for the answer. ;)
